What is Yellowstripe Scad (Ikan Selar)?
Yellowstripe Scad, scientifically known as Selaroides Leptolepis, is one of the most commercially important small pelagic fish species in Southeast Asian waters. Known locally as Ikan Selar, this fish is characterized by a distinctive yellow stripe along its body, though this is less prominent in its frozen state. Its primary value lies in its abundant availability, price stability, and the ease with which its meat can be processed. Yellowstripe Scad is often categorized as a small 'blue' fish due to its moderate fat content, which is rich in heart-healthy Omega-3 fatty acids. This makes it an excellent and affordable nutritional choice for mass feeding programs like the MBG (Free Nutritious Meals) initiative.
In the B2B procurement landscape, Yellowstripe Scad is a cornerstone for Snack Factories and the processed fish industry due to its superior processing qualities. Its flesh is dense yet manageable, making it ideal for raw material for fish crisps (kerupuk), floss (abon), or even being processed into cost-effective, quality fish ball paste. CV Karunia Abadi Semesta ensures that the Yellowstripe Scad we supply is rapidly processed using appropriate freezing methods. We offer it in both Whole Round and Headless Gutted (H&G) formats, frozen via block freezing or semi-IQF to meet the stringent volume and handling efficiency requirements of our industrial partners and exporters. We maintain the capacity to handle large daily tonnages, ensuring your supply chain operates smoothly and predictably.
The utilization of Yellowstripe Scad is extensive, covering cost-effective menus for large-scale Catering, deep-fried dishes in Restaurants and Hotels (especially for staff meals or buffet presentations), and dietary menus in Hospitals that require nutritious protein with a low operating cost. Our Yellowstripe Scad guarantees size uniformity within each grade, facilitating accurate portion control and precise cost-per-portion estimation. We ensure full compliance with international quality standards such as GMP and HACCP, confirming that our product is safe and verified for both domestic distribution and for Export to Singapore and Malaysia, which seek affordable seafood commodities with guaranteed quality. You can review our handling and quality assurance processes on our Quality Handling page.
Compared to other high-volume fish, Yellowstripe Scad stands out due to its savory flavor and firm, yet tender, meat texture. This property is crucial for products intended for deep frying. Its reliability as a mass commodity with a good nutritional profile makes it a valuable asset in your raw material portfolio, especially when projecting long-term costs. Choosing Yellowstripe Scad from CV Karunia Abadi Semesta means opting for a stable, efficient, and economical supply solution that directly contributes to improving the operational profit margins of your B2B business.
We have partnered with various entities to provide fish raw materials at the most efficient cost, including for Mass Nutrition Programs that heavily rely on competitive pricing and massive volume. Yellowstripe Scad is the answer to maintaining nutritional quality while strictly controlling the budget. Our team is ready to help you establish annual supply contracts that guarantee price and volume stability, mitigating the frequent cost fluctuations seen in seafood commodities.
Benefits of Consuming Yellowstripe Scad (Ikan Selar)
Yellowstripe Scad is a cost-effective yet nutrient-rich protein solution, providing significant operational and nutritional benefits for all B2B segments:
- High Raw Material Cost Efficiency (Snack Factories, Catering, MBG): Yellowstripe Scad prices are relatively more stable and competitive than larger fish, making it the primary choice for high-volume processed products, crisps, floss, or daily catering menus sensitive to cost per portion.
- Good Omega-3 Content (Hospitals, MBG): As a small fish, Yellowstripe Scad retains essential Omega-3 Fatty Acids (EPA and DHA), vital for heart and brain health. This supports patient diet menus requiring nutritional enhancement without significant cost increase, as well as public nutrition programs.
- Ease of Preparation for Deep Frying (HORECA, Restaurants): Yellowstripe Scad is ideally sized for individual portions or *finger food*, and its texture crisps up perfectly when deep-fried, making it a favorite for restaurant menus and popular side dishes.
- Supply Stability for Export: Its abundant availability and consistent harvest cycles allow us to guarantee high tonnage supply for our export partners in Singapore and Malaysia, ensuring their delivery schedules are uninterrupted. See details on our Fish Export Services.
- Perfect Portion Control (Catering, Hotels): The uniform size of Yellowstripe Scad (e.g., 10-15 fish per kg) allows catering teams or Hotel kitchens to calculate portions visually and economically with great ease, optimizing *food cost* management.
- Quickly Absorbed Protein for Recovery (Hospitals): Yellowstripe Scad meat is easily digestible protein, suitable for patients with specific dietary needs or those in recovery who require a light, non-taxing protein source.
- Product Diversification Opportunity (Snack Factories): Allows for the development of different fish snack product lines, such as dried fish products or versatile fish seasoning, utilizing the natural savory flavor of Yellowstripe Scad that differs from other white fish.
By combining nutritional and operational cost advantages, Yellowstripe Scad serves as a strategic solution for B2B markets demanding quantity, quality, and efficiency in one package. We are committed to providing not just a product, but a solution that enhances your business competitiveness amid global commodity price fluctuations.
