Maluku community serves record number of fish dishes

Ambon, Maluku (ANTARA News) - Maluku province broke a world record by serving 2,010 fish dishes from 30 kinds of fish at the same time here on Sunday.

The world record was broken at a National Makan Patita communal food feast with 2,010 different fish recipes from 30 kinds of fish caught from Maluku waters.

"The National Makan Patita feast with 2,010 fish recipes, organized by the Ambon City Family Welfare Movement in coordination with its district chapters has broken not only the national record but also the world`s," Paulus Pangka of the Indonesian Museum of Records (MURI) said here on Monday.

Paulus said Maluku broke the record of 4433 by serving 2,010 kinds of fish dishes which also met MURI`s halal criteria.

The food festival was held as part of the public`s contribution to the ongoing international marine event of Sail Banda 2010 whose peak event would fall on Tuesday, August 3, and be attended by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to declare Maluku as a national fish barn.

With every district in the province represented by a stand to present its unique fish dishes, the Makan Patita food festival spanned from the state treasury building to Trikora Monument on Diponegoro street.

"Previously we also grilled fishes that formed a 5.3 km long line, or the longest record with only one kind of fish, but this time we serve 2,010 recipes from 30 kinds of fish," Paulus said.

Meanwhile, Coordinating Minister for People`s Welfare Agung Laksono on the occasion said Maluku had a wide sea territory and was rich in marine resources.

"In this development era, the community`s diet will improve and vary, and therefore Maluku has been able to create various fish dishes in such a fish food festival like this," Laksono said.(*)
