Fresh Tuna Royal Potato Salad

Tuna is a mutual fish inwards Malaysian cuisine. The local tuna is smaller inward size than the ones nosotros swallow inwards Japanese restaurants or those establish inward colder waters. The local tuna is known every bit ikan tongkol in addition to it's non an expensive fish to consume. There is another fish that looks nearly the same, known as ikan kayu, in addition to I wasn't able to distinguish betwixt the ii, until the fish monger placed them next. The local tuna, ikan tongkol'sec pare is actually bluish, looks pretty when the sun shines on it.

Ikan kayu has a much larger bloody area when cooked, tastes more fishy as well as has a drier texture.

Ikan tongkol is not good researched every bit it non a pop fish out of this region due to it's bloodiness. There is a big expanse that is nighttime brown too smells actually fishy as well as bloody. If you can stand up the smell, swallow it, if not, discard it. If I were to prepare curry amongst it, I'll just exit it intact. I do know of many friends who don't like eating this fish.

This time, I saw a prissy firm fresh ikan tongkol at the Farmer'sec Market inward town. I tin't bear non to buy it. Too tempting. Instead of cooking curry with it, I made a salad amongst it. It was actually sweet as well as if you want to continue it tender, don't over prepare it.

Actually, we had a heavy steamboat dinner the solar day before, then this will be a skillful choice for today'sec dinner, hahahaha!

You tin can endeavor this with other fish, if you similar, or chicken, or prawns.

a more than casual serving :)
