Snoek is a saltwater fish commonly found in South African cuisine, prized for its firm texture and distinctive flavor. A member of the barracuda family, it is rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, making it a heart-healthy choice that supports brain function and reduces inflammation. Snoek is also a good source of essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B12, selenium, and iodine, which contribute to overall health and energy. Traditionally prepared smoked, grilled, or baked, it is often featured in dishes like snoek pâté or served with apricot jam in Cape Malay cooking. While Snoek offers numerous health benefits, its sodium content can be high when preserved or smoked, which may be unsuitable for those monitoring their salt intake. Opting for fresh Snoek and pairing it with nutrient-dense sides can help you enjoy this flavorful fish as part of a balanced diet.
