The flavor profile is a unique blend of earthy, slightly bitter açaí with the savory taste of fish. The textures also contrast: the smooth, creamy açaí pulp complements the flaky or crispy texture of the fish.
Açaí pulp itself is not naturally sweet; its flavor is often described as earthy or slightly metallic, with hints of berry and chocolate. The fish, typically fried or grilled tambaqui, pirarucu, or other local species, contributes a savory, often slightly smoky flavor. The combination is balanced by the addition of seasonings and accompaniments, such as salt, pepper, lime juice, and sometimes farinha (toasted cassava flour) for added texture.

Açaí Preparation
The quality of the açaí pulp is crucial. Freshly extracted pulp is preferred, and it should be prepared by soaking the berries in warm water and then pulping them to achieve the desired consistency. Avoid overly sweetening the açaí, as its natural flavor should be the focus.
Fish Selection and Cooking
Choose fresh, locally sourced fish. Frying or grilling are common methods, but ensure the fish is cooked properly to avoid dryness. Season simply with salt, pepper, and lime juice to allow the natural flavors to shine.
Accompaniments
Farinha (toasted cassava flour) is a common accompaniment, adding texture and a nutty flavor. Other options include hot sauce (pimenta), lime wedges, and simple salads.
