About Shortfin scad

Shortfin Scad, known scientifically as Decapterus macrosoma, is a small pelagic fish popular in Southeast Asian and Pacific Island cuisines. It is typically consumed grilled, fried, or incorporated into soups and curries, prized for its mild flavor and tender texture. Nutritionally, Shortfin Scad is an excellent source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins such as B12 and D. These nutrients are known to support heart health, brain function, and strong immunity. It is also low in saturated fat, making it a heart-friendly seafood option. While rich in healthful nutrients, consuming it in fried preparations can increase calorie and fat content. For a healthier choice, opt for steaming or grilling. As a sustainable fish species in many regions, Shortfin Scad presents an environmentally responsible option for seafood lovers, blending taste with nutrition in a compact package.
