Fish
What is this food?
Dried sea bass (dried fish). It’s a protein-rich fish product that’s been dried for longer storage.
Why it matters to health
Dried sea bass helps support your daily protein needs for muscle repair and keeping you full. It also provides cholesterol and saturated fat, so it’s best to keep portions balanced. The bigger caution is sodium: dried fish can be high in salt, which may affect blood pressure if eaten often or in large amounts. Since it has no carbs and no fiber, it works best when paired with vegetables and other fiber-rich foods to make your meals more complete.
Healthier tips
- Portion: Aim for about 1–2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup cooked serving per meal (adjust based on your other ulam and rice).
- Balance your plate: Pair with 1–2 cups non-starchy vegetables (e.g., kangkong, pechay, talong) and add fruit or whole grains if it’s a snack/meal.
- Reduce salt: If the dried fish is very salty, soak in water for 10–20 minutes, then rinse before cooking.
- Frequency: Include it a few times a week, not every day—especially if you also eat other salty foods (fish sauce, bagoong, instant noodles).
- Cooking: Go lighter on added salt and use herbs/acid (calamansi, vinegar) for flavor.
