Fish paste is a versatile condiment and cooking ingredient made by blending finely ground fish with salt, water, and sometimes additional flavorings like sugar, seasonings, or preservatives. It is a staple in various cuisines, especially in Southeast Asia, China, and parts of Europe, where it's used to enhance savory dishes, soups, or spreads. Nutritionally, fish paste is a source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart and brain health. However, it can also be high in sodium, which may be a concern for those monitoring their salt intake. Some varieties may include added sugar or preservatives, so choosing minimally processed options is recommended. Fish paste brings a rich umami flavor to dishes and provides a convenient way to incorporate the nutritional benefits of fish into meals.
