Famous specialties of Binh Thuan, favorite housewives, buy and cook all kinds of delicious dishes, 250,000 VND/kg

Turbid goby living in the sea is different from freshwater goby, with a large size, about 1-0-15cm long, the tiny silvery-colored scales are very beautiful, and the flesh is firm and sweet. They usually live in coastal waters, so the fishing is quite light. Fishermen only need to use small boats to go near the shore to be able to catch goby.

In Vietnam, goby is distributed mainly in the waters of Phan Thiet, Lagi (Binh Thuan). Lam Ngoc Anh (30 years old) – owner of a seafood shop on Pham Van Dong Street (Cau Giay, Hanoi) said: “Though it is small compared to other sea fish, it is popular with many people. Because they have a natural sweetness, fatty flesh, and soft fish bones, they can be eaten without fear of choking.

In Vietnam, goby is distributed mainly in the waters of Phan Thiet, Lagi (Binh Thuan).

Some of my regular customers when they came to the store and saw small fish, they were surprised because they didn’t think it was the whole sea. Even after knowing it was sea goby, they immediately asked if it was better than fresh water goby? I confirmed that it was definitely better and invited to buy and enjoy them. So it only takes one taste to make them switch from sweet goby to cloudy goby.”

Usually, Ms. Ngoc Anh does not sell much goby because it is difficult to transport from the sea to the capital. Therefore, when someone places a large order, she takes advantage of this fish to trade. But not because of that, they become sluggish, instead, just need to display half a day to run out of weights.

“Gobies are considered a specialty of the South Central Coast and are concentrated mainly in the Lagi Sea, so the supply of live goby in the market is extremely limited compared to other marine fish species. So the price of goby is also quite expensive, from 200,000 to 250,000 VND/kg, depending on their size and freshness, we sell them at different prices. In addition, my store also sells dried chisels for 350,000 VND/kg,” said Ngoc Anh.

From goby fish, housewives can process it into many delicious and nutritious dishes such as braised perforated fish, perforated fish baked in foil, and opaque fish cooked in soup.

Perforated fish salad

It is an extremely attractive dish, but the processing is complicated and must be done properly to be delicious.
