cakalang fufu indonesian food

ingredients: 
5 tuna fish medium size
1 tbsp soda
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepar
1 tbsp spices 
bamboo frame

method:
After the cakalang (Minahasan for skipjack tuna) fish has been cleaned (scaled and gutted), the flesh of cakalang is split into two parts and clipped upon a bamboo frame that has been prepared previously. Then the fish meat is cured using soda powder, salt and some spices for flavouring. The tuna meat curing process takes about four hours and the time needed for cooling is about two hours. The process continues until the colour of skipjack tuna turns reddish and the meat texture becomes dry and crispy.
note:If processed correctly, cakalang fufu could last for a month, thus can be distributed throughout Indonesia as processed seafood. In North Sulawesi, Cakalang fufu is a popular dish and often bought by travellers as gifts. Although it is well known throughout Eastern Indonesia, the main production centres more precisely around the fishing town of Bitung, North Sulawesi.
