Dry fish is a traditional food staple found in many coastal and tropical cuisines, including Indian, Southeast Asian, African, and Caribbean dishes. Made by removing moisture through sun-drying or smoking, drying preserves the fish and intensifies its flavor. Nutritionally, dry fish is rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins like B12, and essential minerals such as calcium and iron, supporting heart health, brain function, and strong bones. However, it can be high in sodium due to preservation methods, which may not be ideal for those watching their salt intake. Dry fish is versatile, adding depth to curries, stews, and fried recipes, making it a popular ingredient for both flavor and nutrition. For balanced consumption, pairing it with fresh vegetables and avoiding excess salt can enhance its health benefits while minimizing risks.
