Sate Tanjung — North Lombok Fish Skewers
Fish skewers named after Tanjung in North Lombok, with a softer texture than the meat satay many visitors expect.
Local food reference, rather than a review of one restaurant. Ingredients, spice levels and serving styles can vary between kitchens.
At a glance
Tanjung gives the dish its name
The source explains that Tanjung is the town north of the Bangsal harbour area. The name describes a local food tradition rather than one restaurant. It makes an interesting dish to ask about when exploring North Lombok or travelling towards the Gili Islands.
Fish rather than the usual meat skewers
While visitors may associate sate with chicken or goat, the original article describes sate Tanjung as fish-based, using skipjack in its account. The fish is minced, mixed with other ingredients, shaped onto skewers and grilled. Recipes and fish species may vary, so confirm the ingredients with the seller.
A softer grilled bite
The writer compares the texture to a very soft fish cake. That is a tasting comparison, not a claim that the dish is made like a particular Korean product. Ask about spice, portion size and accompaniments when ordering. The original guide gives no current tariff or named restaurant.
