About Asian dried fish

Asian dried fish is a popular ingredient in many traditional cuisines across East, Southeast, and South Asia. Made by salting and air-drying fresh fish, this process preserves the fish while intensifying its flavor. It is rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential nutrients like iron, zinc, and calcium, making it a highly nutritious food. However, dried fish can also be high in sodium due to the salting process, which may not be suitable for those watching their salt intake. It is a key component in numerous recipes, from soups and stews to stir-fries and snacks, contributing a savory umami flavor. Commonly consumed in countries like Japan, the Philippines, Korea, and India, Asian dried fish is a versatile addition to meals but should be enjoyed in moderation due to its sodium content.
