Asam Pedas Ikan Kelah - now available at Cafe Lui

Ikan Kelah

.

.

As ornamental fish - kelah can be compared to the golden arowana or 'kelisa'. Kelah enthusiasts come from near and far to own kelah of various colours including red, blue, gold and silver.

.

As food - kelah tastes similar to the meat of the local ikan terubuk except it has less fine bones; and some even say it tastes as good as cod fish. The main value of this fish is derived from its taste which needs to be acquired as the texture of the meat is fine and almost "melts in the mouth".
