Wood fish (ikan kayu) is indonesian language. You may find most salted fish in Indonesia especially in Makassar Sulawesi.

It is delicious to fry with some tomatoes, and pepper

If and When I go to Penang or you ever get urself to Sarawak, remind me to pass you some Rejang Haibee, this are the best I’ve tasted!!!

Its created by placing the shrimps (huge one’s also at that, a dried out heibee is roghly the size of a matchstick in lenght, on coconut/nipah leaves and then dried over a smoke fire stove.

The taste is delightful and can be eaten raw as a snack by itself. (cost a bomb though..RM 70 to RM 80 a kilo
