Abstract

This study aims to uncover the unique coastal culture of the Riau Islands, namely the culture of processed raw shellfish. The habit of consuming processed raw shellfish is certainly familiar to both traditional and modern communities. Raw shellfish consumption is widely found in various places around the world, including Asia; for example, in Japan, there's sashimi; in Europe, specifically in Spain, there's ceviche de calamares; and in Korea, there's sannakji. The approach used in this study is a descriptive qualitative study with a specific case study of the culinary scene in Tanjung Bungsu Village, Resun Pesisir, North Lingga District, Lingga Regency, Riau Islands Province. This small village has inherited a distinctive coastal culture, with fishing as the primary livelihood of the local community in the Riau Islands region. The results of this study found a common practice of consuming raw shellfish made from various types of shellfish, especially clams (Tridacna gigas), mixed with natural spices and prepared traditionally. They call it bekasam, a fermented product made from raw shellfish.

Abstract

Bekasam is a term for a dish made from raw shellfish mixed with natural spices and herbs. This culinary delicacy is similar to the dekke naniura of the Toba Batak people or the gohu fish, a dish typical of the Ternate people, a dish made from raw tuna mixed with lime, salt, and basil. Consuming this raw fish is very popular in Japan, known as sashimi. It turns out that Indonesian cuisine is no less interesting than Japan's; we also have a culinary tradition of fermented fresh shellfish. The method used was to educate participants not only on preserving this tradition but also on how to develop it into an alternative culinary specialty of the sea or coastal culture. The outcome of this community service activity was that participants understood the value of coastal cultural heritage, which, if not preserved, will be lost over time. The conclusion of this community service activity showed an increase in the participants' knowledge and attitudes toward preserving this alternative culinary specialty as a distinctive part of coastal culture. All participants enthusiastically participated in the series of activities and listened attentively to the material presented.
