Ha Thi Ngoc (31 years, An Giang) said: “In my hometown, there are 2 types of seabass: sea bass and brackish barramundi. To distinguish these two types, people often rely on the color of the fish’s body. The seabuckthorn on the dorsal surface is long, the upper surface and belly are silver, and the brackish water barramundi is golden brown. But both are less fishy, ​​the meat is white, the bones are a little… suitable to be processed into various delicious dishes such as porridge, steamed, fried, boiled…”.
