About Asam fish

Asam Fish is a tangy and flavorful dish originating from Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia and Malaysia. The name "Asam" means "sour," highlighting its signature taste derived from tamarind or other citrus-based ingredients. Typically made with firm white fish like mackerel or snapper, the dish is simmered in a fragrant broth of tamarind juice, tomatoes, ginger, and chili, offering a rich balance of zesty and spicy flavors. Asam Fish is packed with protein from the fish, while the tamarind provides antioxidants and Vitamin C. Often low in fat and high in healthy nutrients, it can be a wholesome option when prepared with minimal oil. However, if the dish includes added sugar or uses fatty fish, its calorie count may increase. Asam Fish is a celebrated dish in its cuisine, offering both bold flavors and nutritional benefits.
