Did you know: historians believe that the practice of fishing and consuming seafood goes all the way back to prehistoric humans from 40,000 years ago? Analysis of human remains from the Upper Palaeolithic period showed that people regularly consumed freshwater fish (probably caught in shallow water), and further archaeological evidence such as discarded fish bones and cave paintings supports the evidence that humans have consumed seafood for survival since that far back.

And thousands of years later, we are thankfully still able to enjoy eating fish, and through science and research, fish has been rightly recognised as one of the healthiest foods on the planet. Following advancements in cultural and culinary evolution, then coupled with the creativity of chefs and home cooks from all corners of the world – today we get to enjoy fish in the infinite ways it can be prepared and served, from raw to deep-fried.

Saba is a type of Norwegian mackerel, that is well-known for its nutritional value (rich in omega-3 fatty acids) and its flavourful taste. In this dish, you get to taste this tasty deep-sea fish as it’s baked with sea salt and a tinge of citrus juice, and served with a side of rice.

Nowadays it seems we can find salted egg on everything… and why wouldn’t we, when it’s so delicious and goes with everything! This indulgent fish dish can be served as a snack or as a side dish to a meal, with the salted egg adding a melty-savoury sensation to the crispy fish skins.

Sommer Fish

Serving German and Austrian cuisine in Kuala Lumpur, this restaurant specialises in German staples such as sausages (wurst) and pork knuckle. But between the menu items is a special must-order fish dish that really represents high-quality European cuisine: seasoned butterfish served on a bed of creamed spinach, with a side of crushed potatoes and whole-grain mustard cream.

Teppan Salmon Set

Fish might just be the superior white meat, but among the many kinds of fish, the pink-to-orange hued salmon is a popular favourite for its versatility to be served in all kinds of dishes, as well as for being a solid source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids and a number of other nutrients.

Teppan refers to the Japanese method of cooking or grilling food on a flat metal or iron surface, and this salmon teppan set is a hearty complete meal that’s both delicious and nutritious. Served with veggies, chawanmushi, rice, a side salad, and fruit, you will be satisfying your hunger as you absorb those nutrients from the salmon including vitamin B, potassium, and selenium.
