About

Ikan tude or Indian mackerel is an inexpensive fish that can be easily found in local markets across Indonesia. The fish is simply grilled and served with sambal dabu-dabu, a hot, sour, and spicy salsa-like condiment from North Sulawesi. The result is a refreshing aromatic Manado dish with a little tang thanks to the usage of calamansi juice in dabu-dabu.
