About Otah

Otah, also known as otak-otak, is a flavorful Southeast Asian dish originating from Malaysia and Indonesia, commonly enjoyed in Singapore as well. Made primarily from fish paste, typically mackerel, it’s blended with spices like chili, turmeric, and lemongrass, then wrapped in banana leaves and grilled or steamed. This dish is high in protein due to the fish content, while the spices provide antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits. However, depending on preparation, it can be high in sodium and saturated fats, particularly if coconut milk is added. Low-calorie versions exist and can be incorporated into balanced diets. Otah is culturally cherished for its smoky, aromatic flavor and its versatility—served as a snack, side dish, or paired with rice. Moderation is key when enjoying this nutrient-rich yet indulgent treat.
