Fish
What is this food?
Slipmouth (dried), a common dried fish snack/protein. It’s usually eaten as-is or added to viands for extra flavor.
Why it matters to health
Slipmouth is a good protein food, which helps keep you full and supports muscle maintenance. However, dried fish tends to be high in sodium (about 6101 mg per 100 g), so too much can raise your overall salt intake—especially if you also eat salty ulam (like bagoong, tuyo, or instant noodles) in the same day. It also has some fat (about 4.5 g per 100 g), so portion size matters for balanced meals.
Healthier tips
- Use it as a small add-on to meals or as a snack—think a few tablespoons to a small handful, not a full serving.
- Balance the day: pair with rice + lots of vegetables and a source of fiber (e.g., kangkong, pechay, talbos, or mixed veggies).
- Watch your other salty foods that day (e.g., bagoong, instant noodles, salted eggs). Keep your total salt intake reasonable.
- For snacks between meals, choose slipmouth with water or unsweetened drinks, and add fruit or veggies if you can.
- If you’re cooking with it, consider soaking briefly and draining (if your usual practice allows) to reduce some salt.
