What is Dory Fish?

It is important to provide honest education to consumers: In the Southeast Asian retail and culinary market, the term "Dory Fillet" generally refers to Patin fish meat (Pangasius sp.), not the John Dory (Zeus faber) which lives in European deep seas and is very expensive. The Dory Fish we distribute is the Pangasius hypophthalmus species, a freshwater fish farmed intensively in clean waters (Vietnam or Local Indonesia). This fish is chosen as a global commodity because of its thick, white meat and fast growth, making it the most affordable and sustainable animal protein solution.

In terms of food characteristics, Dory Fillet has a very soft texture and relatively high water content. The meat is clean white to slightly pink (depending on grade), with a neutral and non-fishy flavor profile. Because of its mild taste, this fish easily absorbs marinades or seasoned flour. In the freezing process, Dory usually undergoes glazing (ice coating) and the addition of safe food stabilizers to maintain meat moisture and prevent freezer burn during long-term frozen storage.

Nutritionally, Dory Fish is an excellent protein source with low saturated fat content. Dory contains Omega-3 fatty acids beneficial for heart health, although levels are not as high as deep-sea fish. Its main advantage lies in its boneless and soft texture, making it safe and easy to digest for toddlers and the elderly. This makes Dory a priority raw material in compiling soft diet menus in Hospitals or school lunch menus in national nutrition programs.

Dory Products Available

We provide Dory variants based on origin and quality to adjust to your business COGS (Cost of Goods Sold):

1. Imported Dory (Vietnam Premium)

Known for cleaner white meat color and denser texture. The trimming standard is very neat, free from belly fat (belly fat off) and free from red meat (red meat off). Highly recommended for premium menus like restaurant-style Fish n Chips.

2. Local Dory (Indonesia)

A more economical alternative with increasingly competitive quality. The meat tends to be slightly reddish or creamy, but the taste remains savory. Suitable for rice box catering menus, Fish Katsu, or yellow spice dishes.

3. Dory Steak / Portion Cut

Dory cutting service according to grammage (e.g., 100g or 150g). A solution for school canteens or diet catering requiring strict portion control.

4. Dory Cube

Dory meat cut into cubes (bite size). Very practical for fish satay menus, seafood fried rice mix, or toddler soup fillings.

Nutritional Value of Dory Fish per 100 Grams

Dory provides light yet beneficial nutritional intake:

• Protein: 13 - 17 grams (Depending on water/glazing content).
• Calories: 80 - 90 kcal (Low calorie).
• Fat: 1.5 - 3 grams (Low fat).
• Sodium: Varies depending on processing.

Business Benefits of Using Dory Fish

Dory Fish is a kitchen operation "Lifesaver". Since it comes in clean fillet form without bones and skin, the cooking yield is 100%, meaning there is zero waste. For Fish n Chips or Dory Geprek businesses, meat thickness consistency facilitates even frying processes. Additionally, the relatively stable price of Dory throughout the year makes it easier for you to calculate profit margins without fearing seasonal fish price fluctuations.
