About Milkfish
Milkfish, a versatile and nutrient-rich seafood, is native to the Pacific and Indian Oceans and is especially popular in Southeast Asian cuisine. Known for its mild, slightly sweet flavor and firm texture, it's a staple in dishes like grilled bangus (Philippines) and fish curry. Milkfish is a heart-healthy protein source, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which support cardiovascular health and brain function. It's also packed with essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin D, B12, selenium, and phosphorus, promoting strong bones and immune system function. While milkfish is nutritious, note that it contains many fine bones, which may require careful preparation. Typically enjoyed fresh, smoked, or fried, milkfish provides a sustainable seafood option and pairs beautifully with bold spices and vibrant sauces. Opt for cooking methods like steaming or grilling to preserve its health benefits and enhance its natural flavor.
