Matambaka, also known as bigeye scad, is a popular fish in our country known for its distinctive large eyes and streamlined body. The fish typically has a blue-green or greenish back and silvery sides and belly. It is a schooling fish found in tropical and subtropical waters.
Matambaka is a good source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins and minerals. These nutrients contribute to heart health, brain function, and overall well-being.
Culinary Uses: Matambaka can be prepared in various ways, including frying, grilling, and baking. It is often used in traditional Filipino dishes such as kinilaw (ceviche) and paksiw (fish stewed in vinegar). The fish’s firm texture and mild flavor make it suitable for a wide range of recipes.
Storage: Fresh matambaka should be stored in the refrigerator and used within a few days for the best quality. It can also be frozen for longer storage.
