About Salted fish
Salted fish is a traditional preserved seafood, originating from various coastal cuisines such as Chinese, Southeast Asian, Caribbean, and Mediterranean. It is made by curing fish with salt, which draws out moisture and prevents spoilage. This process enhances its shelf life while imparting a distinct, savory flavor. Salted fish is rich in protein and essential minerals like potassium and magnesium, supporting muscle function and overall health. However, it is high in sodium due to the curing process, which may contribute to hypertension if consumed in excess. Typically used in small quantities to flavor dishes like fried rice, stews, or braised vegetables, salted fish adds depth and umami to meals. To make it healthier, it is recommended to consume it in moderation and pair it with fresh, nutrient-rich ingredients.
