Alumahan, commonly known as Indian mackerel, is a popular fish in Filipino cuisine, valued for its rich flavor and versatility in dishes like sinigang and grilled preparations. This medium-sized fish is native to tropical and subtropical waters, often served fresh or preserved in local markets. Alumahan is a powerhouse of nutrition, loaded with essential omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health, brain function, and reduce inflammation. It is also an excellent source of high-quality protein, vitamins B12 and D, and minerals like potassium and selenium. While its natural oils are beneficial, moderation is key to avoid excessive calorie intake when cooked with fatty or heavily salted sauces. Affordable and highly accessible, Alumahan is a healthy addition to a balanced diet when prepared with mindful cooking techniques such as steaming or grilling.
