The type of fish that used to be full, no one bought it, now it’s special rare, just lucky enough to eat it, 180,000/kg

Cod is a natural fish, the size of a finger, the flesh is hard, the bones are soft. They live in the shallow, fast-flowing waters west of Nghe An. Recently, however, a series of hydroelectric power stations have grown, causing the Lam River to become clogged, collecting water, causing them to have to move into the crevices to live.

Ngoc Huong (35 years, from Nghe An) – a seafood trader in Hanoi said: “I used to sell wholesale and retail seafood from Nghe An, but sometimes there are rare fish from the countryside for sale. So when I have cobia fish, I put it on the online market, and it only takes a few minutes for the customer to buy everything. Because this fish is weird, tasty and clean, everyone loves to eat it.”

According to Ms. Ngoc Huong, in the past, it was very easy to catch cobia fish, only need a small net to study in the river to be able to cast a few dozen fish. After that, people will take to market to sell each bundle for only 40,000 – 50,000 VND. But in recent years, many families living along National Highway 7 have purchased and processed it into a specialty dish for long-distance customers and tourists, so it is no longer sold in the market, becoming a rarity in the country.

“We buy cobia from people at prices ranging from 100,000 to 150,000 VND/kg, depending on the time of day. After that, small traders will sell a few dozen more, 180,000 VND/kg. Although expensive compared to sea fish and other freshwater fish, cobia fish has a fragrant flesh and soft bones, so many people are willing to spend money to buy it. There was even a time when I only returned a few dozen pounds and it was sold out because the shoppers were too busy, everyone ordered a few pounds to eat gradually,” said Ngoc Huong.

However, according to people living in the Lam River area, the most delicious dishes made from sardines are freshwater fish and freshwater fish. “Cod is cleaned after being caught, then fried and salted with galangal, fresh turmeric, onions and spices. After about 30-45 minutes, they will add water and bring it to a boil. Especially to make cobia fish more delicious, add water 3 times until the bones are tired and the meat can be enjoyed. What’s more, boiled cobia fish is only truly delicious when it’s cooked in an earthen pot.

When customers buy cobia, I always show them how to make the most delicious dish, they will remember and never forget the taste,” said Ms. Ngoc Huong.

If in the North every New Year’s Eve, every house must have a pot of black carp, then in Nghe An there will be boiled carp. Therefore, at the time of Tet, carp suddenly became scarce, the restaurant had to buy carp from everywhere to ensure enough to pay others.
