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 />
