Having the strongest flavour among its cousins in the mackerel family, Korean Mackerel (Tat Pan) has become all Pontian folks’ favourite!
马鲛类当中,口味最浓厚的大板,成了一代代笨珍人的最爱,也是鱼粥最佳的首选鱼肉。
Korean Mackerel has a high fat content and when it’s raw, it’s firm and brown; once it’s cooked, it becomes creamy and white.
大板含有较高的鱼油含量,大板生鱼片是褐色且扎实的;一旦煮熟,就变成顺滑的白鱼肉。
