The Story Behind Reef Fish Soup

Simple fish soups have nourished Micronesian communities since the earliest settlements. Using whatever fish is caught from the reef, these broths are light yet nutritious and require minimal ingredients.

The addition of ginger and lime reflects both traditional knowledge and Asian influences from trade contact.

This restorative soup is the Micronesian equivalent of chicken soup for the soul.
