BANDUNG – For lovers of seafood, the name kudu-kudu fish may not be heard much. However, in one restaurant in the city of Bandung, this fish with a scary face is processed into a unique, appetizing dish. This fish, which is similar to puffer fish, is often considered dangerous because it has deadly poison, but kudu-kudu fish has no poison and is safe to consume.
The restaurant, which is located in the Jalan Dokter Sutami area, Bandung, serves kudu-kudu fish as one of the customers’ favorite menus. The process of cooking this fish is quite complicated, because the hard skin has to be cut by hitting it with a hammer so that it splits into two parts. After that, the fish pieces are cooked in salted egg and lime sauce to remove the fishy smell.
Although its strange appearance may make some people doubtful, once cooked, this kudu-kudu fish has a soft meat texture and delicious taste. Because it is difficult to obtain from fishermen, the supply of this type of fish is quite limited, making it an exclusive choice at this restaurant.
To enjoy a portion of kudu-kudu fish, customers can pay starting from 20 thousand rupiah per ounce. For seafood fans who want to try a new sensation, this dish could be an interesting choice. (Dwinarto)
