The empurau or kelah is the Malaysian mahseer, a carp species that lives in clear fast flowing streams in jungle habitat. Unfortunately, large specimens have been reduced to near oblivion in much of its natural habitat due to habitat loss(read logging)and commercialized hunting for its prized meat. It is now rare to find a 5 kilo specimen. Empurau, "忘不了 (unforgettable)" in Chinese, is known as the most expensive fish in the country as its prices can reach as high as RM1800 per kilogram in Kuala Lumpur. How could the diners ever forget about it? A restaurant in Ipoh had also sold an empurau weighted 1kg at RM1300 before.

OTHER COMMON NAMES :

• Empurau
• Wang Pu Liao / 忘不了

The ‘Empurau’ is freshwater fish which is native in Sarawak, and has its habitat in clean/clear fast moving streams. This fish has tender and rich textured flesh with special aroma which is mainly due to its special diet of ‘Buah Kabang’ or Engkabang(as in The Star). For the fish to be suitable for the table, it needs to be at least 3kg and above so that the flesh would have firm body. Anything below 3 kg would result in soft texture flesh which is due to the high fat content. The older and heavier it gets the flesh would firm up but the essential fats are still maintained.
