Ikan, meaning "fish" in Indonesian and Malay, refers to various freshwater and saltwater species commonly used in Southeast Asian cuisine. Rich in protein, vitamins, and omega-3 fatty acids, ikan supports heart health, brain function, and overall well-being. Popularly featured in dishes like sambal ikan or grilled ikan, it offers a versatile base for bold flavors and traditional spices. Depending on preparation, ikan can range from being exceptionally healthy—grilled or steamed varieties minimize fat content—to indulgent, like deep-fried options, which may add extra calories and saturated fats. Minerals such as selenium and iodine in ikan contribute to immune system health and thyroid function. With its origins rooted in coastal and riverine communities, ikan reflects the resourcefulness and culinary artistry of the region while maintaining a balance of taste and nutrition. Always consider sourcing sustainably to support marine ecosystems when choosing your fish.
