Keski Fish is a small fish species used in various traditional dishes across Southeast Asia. Beyond its versatility in cooking, this fish also provides protein and several essential minerals.
Join Hieu Nam International as we explore the unique characteristics and nutritional value of Keski Fish.
Keski Fish (Corica soborna), also known as Kachki or Ganges River Sprat, is a small, slender fish with a distinctive silvery appearance. According to FishBase, the maximum recorded length of this species is approximately 5.3 cm.
Keski Fish is found in parts of South and Southeast Asia, inhabiting rivers, estuaries, and brackish water environments.
Despite its small size, Keski Fish provides protein and essential minerals, including calcium, iron, and zinc.
According to the Food Composition Table for Bangladesh (2013), as compiled by FishBase, the nutritional composition of 100 g of fresh, whole Keski Fish is as follows:
| Nutrient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Protein | 16.1 g |
| Calcium | 489 mg |
| Iron | 2.4 mg |
| Zinc | 3.1 mg |
Protein contributes to the maintenance and repair of body tissues, while calcium supports healthy bones and teeth. Iron plays an important role in oxygen transport in the blood, and zinc is essential for normal immune function.
Note: These values are based on reference research data and may vary depending on fish samples, environmental conditions, and processing methods.
