after taste. Furthermore, in a freefloating<br />
cage the waste generated<br />
from the fish are immediately washed<br />
away as the water is ever flowing<br />
24/7! Pond water needs treatment <strong>to</strong><br />
prevent occurrence of diseases due <strong>to</strong><br />
the congestion and waste generated<br />
from the fish so be careful when<br />
purchasing such fishes even though<br />
their prices may be cheaper.<br />
Live&Fresh<br />
When it comes <strong>to</strong> cooking, tilapia<br />
fish is quite flexible; it is excellent for<br />
steaming, especially the fresh ones<br />
from the tank, for frying as it does<br />
not shrink much in size when cooked<br />
and certainly sumptuous for asam<br />
curry. There are other possibilities<br />
like sweet and sour, Thai sauce style,<br />
Can<strong>to</strong>nese style, black sauce with<br />
black beans and the fillet pieces are<br />
always never enough when cooked<br />
in butter sauce or deep fried. At the<br />
fine restaurants and seafood outlets,<br />
the tilapia is very common due <strong>to</strong> its<br />
versatility <strong>to</strong> all types of cooking.<br />
Able Asia Aquaculture Sdn Bhd produces, sells<br />
tilapia eco-fish from farm at Batang Ai dam<br />
Everyone knows that the<br />
tilapia fish is one of the<br />
finest when it comes <strong>to</strong><br />
serving guests or family as it has<br />
good quality flesh, fresh and very<br />
little fine bones <strong>to</strong> worry about. In<br />
Sarawak, tilapia is easily available in<br />
any market and usually lives ones<br />
<strong>to</strong>o! The main issue is whether it<br />
will have a ‘muddy’ after taste when<br />
eaten especially those that come<br />
from ponds.<br />
So choose those that come from Able<br />
Asia Aquaculture Sdn Bhd, a company<br />
that breeds the eco tilapia fish and<br />
other fishes in free flowing water at<br />
the Batang Ai dam in Sri Aman. There<br />
are agents and wholesalers for the<br />
company throughout the state so<br />
getting their fresh eco fishes are quite<br />
easy. At the farm, the fish are kept in<br />
floating cages, which means they do<br />
not nibble on mud, or bot<strong>to</strong>m debris,<br />
which give pond fish that muddy<br />
Able Asia Aquaculture Sdn Bhd also<br />
sells other types of eco fish like patin,<br />
lampan, baung, kaloi and tengadak,<br />
all quality river fishes that can be safely<br />
recommended for serving guests.<br />
Depending on your skills, each of these<br />
types of fishes certainly taste richer<br />
when cooked in the right way and the<br />
folks at the outlets will gladly advice<br />
you should you need so, especially<br />
when purchasing the fish for the first<br />
time! For those who tend <strong>to</strong> shop once<br />
a week, keeping the fish in the freezer<br />
is not going <strong>to</strong> make the fish taste bad<br />
when thawed and cooked after a few<br />
days. Because the fish bought is fresh,<br />
the freezer will continue <strong>to</strong> keep it<br />
fresh and ready whenever you decide<br />
<strong>to</strong> cook it. However, it is advisable not<br />
<strong>to</strong> keep foodstuff in freezer for <strong>to</strong>o<br />
long as that can deteriorate the quality.<br />
