UDANG GALAH SARAWAK, FRESH WATER PRAWN, (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) 大头虾

UDANG GALAH SARAWAK, FRESH WATER PRAWN,
(Macrobrachium rosenbergii) 大头虾











A matured male "A" size prawn .























Small prawn



.













This is a berried female prawn. (meanings= with egg)
Berried female prawn wouldn't grow bigger because all the nutrient had been used up to produce eggs. that's why you can hardly or never see big "A" size berried female. 



BAUNGS / CAT FISH IN SARAWAK

BAUNGS SUNGAI / CAT FISH IN SARAWAK
Baung Sungai, "Pak Suk Gong" means
" white moustache uncle" in Cantonese.
This fish had been very common since the farmer  know how to breed it. But the breeded will ALWAYS different quality compared to the wild caught fish. The biggest size we found was around 4kg and it's loko.



Baung Tasik,
Normally the black "baung" fish is not very good in taste. In addition, the skin quite smelly. This fish will be "loko" around 1.5kg and above.


Baung Jerung, 鲨鱼头白须公
The head and the face really look like shark!
Unfortunately, I didn't take his face picture.







Baung Kelulang / Baung Sakam / or been called White tail baung in cantonese. is one of the biggest species "baung" among them. Here, we did found around 8kg size fish without loko. Because the size of the fish, this fish also consider one of the main fish collected fish.

PATIN BUAH SARAWAK, 果子巴丁

PATIN BUAH SARAWAK, 果子巴丁




Some time patin buah also being called as "Shark head" patin because of the shape of the patin's head really looked like "shark" !.




Patin Buah 19 kg. But still not LOKO !! Haha. hard to believed. There are clues to see how can separate the loko patin and the good one. This one really shows all good signs on the fish.



Patin Hulu
"Patin Hulu" is one of the rare species patin. It's only can be found mostly at the upper stream of the river where you can find semah and empurau fish. It's looked similar to the rest of the patin but it is different. It's body is much wider compared to the most of the patin species. Their head, face and tail also different. A very obvious different with other species of patin is their "white end tips tail". This is one of the best fish in sarawak.







SEBARAU, ADONG SARAWAK, Hampala Macrilepidota,水马骝

SEBARAU, ADONG SARAWAK, (Hampala Macrilepidota),
  Sebarau is one of the game fish for fresh water fishing. It can be very easily hooked up with bait lure of artificial fish lure. But for the dinning at the table, very few people like this fish very well. Mainly because of the fish is "tasteless" as many people commended. That complain mostly from among the fresh water fish lovers. Some said the fish only can be eaten freshly, else the fish's stomach discoloured too quickly and become not fresh.
      Yes, their comments are true. But that is true when you hook the fish in the river and put into the ice box, take it home, then only cook it. If you had caught one of this fish and straight away cook it then, the flesh of this fish is very very good and sweet. I myself still not fully understand why as many people do. But one of my friend of fishing mania said one secret to me regarding this fish. How can you preserve the fish without losing it's freshness and taste even if you had put inside the freezer. Haha. I think, i wouldn't tell you all how...
