About Fried salted fish

Fried salted fish is a traditional dish widely enjoyed in Southeast Asian and Chinese cuisines. Made by curing fish with salt to preserve it, the fish is then fried to develop a crispy, savory texture. Commonly used types of fish include mackerel, anchovies, or croaker, which are rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, supporting heart health and brain function. However, this dish is known for its high sodium content due to the salt-curing process, which may impact blood pressure if consumed excessively. While the frying process adds flavor and crunch, it can also increase the calorie and fat content depending on the oil used. Fried salted fish is typically served as a flavorful accompaniment to plain rice, balancing its intense saltiness with neutral staples. Moderation is key to enjoying this dish as part of a balanced diet.
