“Sababoy’s Self-Introduction”

Every part of the milkfish can be turned into an array of delicious dishes. It is every milkfish’s mission in life to become as delicious as it can be.

I am a smart milkfish filled with enthusiasm. Born and raised in the fine shallow ponds of Tainan, my head is filled with Tainan trivia and local delicacies. I want to be more than just a great meal however... All the grand ambitions and great expectations in my head led to my making of a bold decision driven by passion...

I decided to leave my birthplace! However, to move about more easily, I decide to split my head from the body and meet the world in my fish-head form. I will also tell the world how great the food is in Taiwan and how wonderful a holiday in Tainan can be~!

I am... Sababoy!

🌟Appearance for tourism promotion:

For most domestic and foreign tourists, their impression of Tainan beyond the historical buildings and great food is naturally the milkfish cuisine on offer everywhere. The rarely-seen “fish head” with its unique appearance is therefore emphasized. Unlike run-of-the-mill mascots that try to look cute, “Sababoy” takes a totally different route...

Turn around...

The distinctive, sectioned fish-head look means Sababoy leaves a very strong impression.
