What is Salted Fish? π π§
Salted fish is a processed fish product preserved through salting and drying, either with sunlight or ovens. This traditional preservation method has been used for centuries to extend fish shelf life, allowing its distribution to various regions without spoilage concerns. The salting process not only preserves but also imparts a distinctive savory flavor, making it a favorite food ingredient in many Asian cuisines, especially in Indonesia. The level of saltiness and texture of salted fish vary depending on the fish type, salt concentration, and drying duration. βοΈπ
The salted fish production process begins with cleaning the fish of entrails and gills, followed by even soaking or rubbing with salt. After salting, the fish is sun-dried directly or dried in special drying equipment until its water content is very low. This reduction in water content is key to inhibiting the growth of spoilage bacteria and microorganisms. The result is a fish product with a firmer texture, a strong aroma, and a much longer shelf life compared to fresh fish. πdryingπ§
The quality of salted fish heavily depends on the cleanliness of the process, the type of fish used, and the salting and drying techniques. Jarson Artha Utama pays great attention to these aspects, ensuring that the salted fish we distribute exhibits the best quality characteristics: natural fish color (not too dark or dull), dry and non-slimy texture, distinct salted fish aroma without foul smell, and maximum cleanliness (free from dirt, mold, or insects). We guarantee that every salted fish product you receive from us meets the highest quality standards, ready to be processed into delicious and authentic dishes that will satisfy your customers. π―π½οΈ

Benefits of Consuming Salted Fish Products β
Although often considered a complementary food, salted fish has notable nutritional benefits, especially as a source of protein and minerals. Here are the main benefits of consuming salted fish: πͺπ
- Quality Protein Source: Salted fish remains rich in animal protein essential for growth, tissue repair, and maintaining muscle mass. ποΈπͺ
- Source of Essential Minerals: Contains important minerals such as calcium (for strong bones), phosphorus, and iron (though in smaller amounts than fresh fish). π¦΄π©Έ
- Durable and Long-Lasting: The preservation process gives salted fish a very long shelf life, reducing waste and facilitating stock management. ποΈβ
- Distinctive Flavor that Enhances Appetite: Its unique savory salty taste can boost appetite and is a perfect complement to various dishes, especially warm white rice. ππ€€
- Practical and Easy to Prepare: Generally requires little preparation before cooking, just wash and fry or stir-fry. Very efficient for restaurant kitchens. π³β±οΈ
- Economical Protein Alternative: Compared to fresh fish or meat, salted fish is often a more economical choice, suitable for menu diversification with controlled costs. π°π
Nutritional Content of Salted Fish π¬
The nutritional profile of salted fish varies by fish type, but generally, its main components are protein and sodium. Here is an estimated nutritional content per 100 grams of cooked portion (e.g., dried gabus salted fish): ππ½οΈ
- Calories: Approximately 150-200 calories (depending on type and cooking method). π₯π
- Protein: Approximately 25-35 grams (a good source of protein). πͺπ
- Total Fat: Approximately 5-10 grams (generally low, except for fatty fish). β¬οΈβ¬οΈ
- Carbohydrates: 0 grams. πΎπ
- Sodium: High, approximately 2000-5000 mg (daily intake needs to be monitored). π§β οΈ
- Calcium: Approximately 100-300 mg (especially in small fish eaten with bones). π¦΄β¨
- Phosphorus: Approximately 200-400 mg. β‘π¦΄
- Iron: Approximately 1-2 mg. π©Έβ
It's important to remember that the sodium content in salted fish is quite high due to the salting process. Therefore, it is advisable to consume it in reasonable portions and balance it with other low-sodium food intake. For customers limiting salt intake, soaking or washing salted fish before cooking can help reduce its sodium content. π‘π½οΈ
