SATAK 

Udang satak ialah istilah bahasa Melayu tempatan yang digunakan secara meluas di Brunei dan Sabah untuk merujuk kepada slipper lobster (udang kipas/udang ketak). Walaupun ia tergolong dalam keluarga krustasea, ia berbeza daripada udang karang biasa (spiny lobster) dan udang lipan (mantis shrimp).

Ciri-Ciri Utama

• Rupa Bentuk: Ia mempunyai badan yang leper dan lebar tanpa sepit besar, memberikan bentuk unik seperti "selipar" atau penyeduk.
• Tekstur & Rasa: Isinya sangat dihargai kerana manis, padat dan pejal—sering disamakan dengan udang karang tetapi biasanya lebih murah.
• Masakan Tempatan: Ia sangat versatil dan biasanya dimasak dalam gaya tempatan seperti telur masin, tiga rasa, dikukus dengan halia, atau dibakar dengan mentega dan keju.

Ketersediaan & Anggaran Harga di Brunei

Jika anda ingin membeli udang satak segar di Brunei, ia kerap dijual oleh nelayan tempatan dan penjual makanan laut secara dalam talian.

Harga biasanya berbeza mengikut saiz dan berat:

• Mengikut Berat: Antara $10 hingga $20 sekilo bergantung pada campuran saiz.
• Mengikut Bilangan: Kerap dijual secara pakej oleh peniaga dari rumah (seperti di kawasan Lambak Kanan) dengan harga sekitar $16 hingga $21 untuk satu ikatan berisi 7 ekor.

ENGLISH 

Udang satak is the local Malay term widely used in Brunei and Sabah for the slipper lobster. It is also known as udang ketak or udang lipan in other parts of Malaysia. While it belongs to the crustacean family, it is distinct from both the regular spiny lobster (udang bakara) and the mantis shrimp. 

Key Characteristics

• Appearance: It has a flat, wide body with no large claws, giving it a unique "slipper" or shovel-like shape.
• Texture & Taste: The meat is highly prized for being sweet, dense, and firm—often compared to regular lobster but generally more affordable.
• Local Culinary Uses: It is incredibly versatile and commonly cooked in local styles such as salted egg, tiga rasa (three-flavor sauce), steamed with ginger, or grilled with butter and cheese. 

Local Availability & Pricing in Brunei

If you are looking to buy fresh udang satak along the Brunei coastline, it is frequently sold by local fishermen and seafood vendors online. 

Prices generally vary based on size and weight, but you can typically find it around these rates:

• By Weight: Between $10 to $20 per kilogram depending on the mix of sizes.
• By Piece Count: Frequently packaged by home vendors around the Lambak Kanan area, priced between $16 to $21 for a bundle of 7 pieces.
