Dried Fish

Dried Fish is a preserved seafood ingredient common in many Asian, African and Caribbean cuisines, made by salting and air- or sun-drying whole fish or fish pieces; it's used to add intense savory (umami) flavor to soups, stews, sauces and condiments. Nutritionally, Dried Fish is a concentrated source of protein, providing about 62g of protein per 100 g, and also supplies important micronutrients found in seafood such as vitamin B12, selenium and iodine. While it delivers high-quality protein and useful minerals, it is a preserved product and used in small amounts because of its strong flavor and high sodium content.
