Ikan Asin Jambal Roti 250gr Salted Manyung Fish

Premium Indonesian Salted Manyung Fish

Ikan Asin Jambal Roti 250gr is a well-known Indonesian delicacy made from manyung fish (Arius thalassinus), also known locally as kadukang. This premium salted fish undergoes a traditional salt fermentation and sun-drying process that enhances both its flavour and texture.

The name “jambal roti” refers to its distinctive texture. Once cooked, the flesh becomes thick, tender, and flaky—almost crumbly like toasted bread. Its strong, characteristic aroma and deep savoury taste make it a popular choice as a side dish served with steamed rice and sambal.

Traditional Processing Method

This product is prepared using time-honoured techniques to ensure authentic quality:

• Made from selected cuts of manyung fish
• Salt-cured through controlled fermentation
• Carefully sun-dried to achieve the ideal texture
• Cut into convenient portions for easy cooking

The result is a salted fish with a firm yet tender consistency that crisps on the outside while remaining soft inside when fried.
