Fried Shortfin Scad, commonly known as "Galunggong" in Filipino cuisine, is a popular dish in Southeast Asia. This small, silver-hued fish is lightly seasoned with salt before being deep-fried to golden perfection, creating a crispy exterior and tender, flavorful meat inside. Rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential nutrients like vitamin D and selenium, Shortfin Scad provides numerous health benefits, including supporting heart health and brain function. However, frying the fish increases calorie content and introduces additional fat, potentially affecting its health profile, especially if consumed in excess or fried using unhealthy oils. Often served as a staple alongside steamed rice and a tangy dipping sauce, Fried Shortfin Scad is a versatile and affordable source of nutrition, reflecting both the simplicity and depth of traditional Filipino cooking.
