4 Best Fresh Water Wild Fishes in Sarawak 砂拉越淡水鱼四大天王
Here are the Top 4 fresh water wild fishes that you must TRY in Sarawak!
野生淡水鱼的四大天王来了！去砂拉越必须尝一尝这些鱼，在新加坡很少有机会可以吃的到，这些味道一定会让你毕生难忘。
1. Empurau fish “忘不了”鱼
The most expensive fish in Malaysia. The authentic Empurau fish has extremely creamy fatty texture and unique flavour from Engkabang fruits, as known as "butter from the forest". It is found exclusively in Sarawak. It cannot be cultivated commercially, so it can only be collected from the wild, thus authentic Empurau must be caught from wild too.
You can find it at some of the restaurant in Singapore too, but we would suggest you to try the most ORIGINAL one in Sarawak, which is normally caught by Sarawak natives from the longest river in Malaysia - Rajang river. It can grow as big as 10kg or even more!
马来西亚最贵的鱼。肉质极其肥美。野生的纯正忘不了鱼在河的上游吃”风车果实“。这种果实有非常浓厚的黄油香味，也被誉为”森林中的黄油“。所以纯正的忘不了鱼会有一种独特的果香味。风车果实目前没办法被商业化培育，所以这种果实只有在砂拉越找得到。因此，最纯正的忘不了鱼只有在砂拉越才吃的到。
新加坡有些店家也有卖忘不了鱼，但大家可以去砂拉越尝试最正宗的忘不了鱼。运气好的话，可以找到超过10公斤重的忘不了鱼哦！
2. Semah fish
Also as known as Tor fish, or Mahseers. Very difficult to breed artificially. The meat is soft and tender, you will feel like it can melt in your mouth! It has high nutrition value, and it is always served as fine dining in restaurant.
鱼肉洁白如雪，肉质细嫩，鱼肉可以在你嘴里融化！它也有相当高的营养价值。常常被用来做高级餐馆的佳肴。
3. Mungalang Fish
Local people also called "red eye fish". It is famous of its rich flavour, and the wonderful texture make it become one of the local favourite.
这里普遍称“红眼睛鱼”。鱼肉醇厚，肉味腴美，有非常丰富的脂肪。
4. Tengadak Fish
The fish is very sweet. Especially Tengadak fish that is more than 800g, you will be impressed by the sweetness. To find a larger size of Tengadak fish very difficult, because this kind of fish only grow up to 300g per year! So it might take 3-5 years to grow more than 800g.
这种鱼的味道非常鲜甜。如果可以遇到超过800克的Tengadak，那真的是运气非常好，因为这种鱼一年最多只能成长300克，所以如果要长到800克以上，至少需要3-5年！
