Salted Terubuk Fish

Sarawak's all - time favourite and very unique souvenir craze is the Salted Terubuk (American Shad) Fish. Visitors would normally come back from Sarawak bearing salted terubuk (nicely wrapped in a box for longer preservation) for their friends and family. One of the favourite fishes in Sarawak, terubuk is full of bones but tasty nevertheless. The trick of the trade is to find the biggest terubuk fish as the bones are larger and easier to dispose. Also available is the terubuk egg, and far more expensive.
