Fish salad – a memorable dish in Danang

If your Vietnam Tour adventure takes you to Danang, then you are in the right place. It was not only an educational and commercial center of central Vietnam, but it is also 100 kilometers from the best sites and places you can visit in this country. Several UNESCO World Heritage Sites, such as My Son Ruins, Hoi An Old Town and Hue Imperial City, are easily accessible from this natural transportation hub that you will visit one by one on your Vietnam Tours. reserved.

But perhaps the most memorable experience you can have in this fabulous city is trying their exotic dish called “Goi Ca” or fish salad. You may have heard of this when you booked your best Vietnam Tours package and you can even give it a try at your accommodation. But if you’ve tried a fish salad that features sliced ​​tomatoes, all shredded with lettuce leaves that are already limp; and served with a few slices of tuna and a few small prawns, all drenched in mayonnaise, so you haven’t had the real thing! The fact is, you have tried commercial offerings that you can safely call the “westernized” version. If you want to taste the real Vietnam Goi Ca, go to Man Thai Beach along the Son Tra peninsula in Danang.

Lined along the beach front where the fishing boats are moored, on the brick sidewalk are several Danang-style fish salad vendors. These vendors only sell “Goi Ca” and it will taste much better than what you can order in most of the restaurants that line the beach in Danang. The first reason is that it is the only thing they do. The second is that they only use the freshest ingredients available.

True to the Vietnam style of food preparation, the local ingredients used by Danang fish salad vendors are fresh mint and herbs galore, onions, carrots, galangal, green mango and squid; and freshly caught fish by local fishermen. With this variety of natural ingredients, prepare your palate with a complex Asian salad flavor that is not at all bland. The color of the fresh ingredients is really attractive. No fancy food garnish is needed to make your mouth water with anticipation. Imagine the arrangement of lush spearmint leaves, fresh bud green yellow, bell pepper red, and galangal yellow. Put it over the white squid and fresh fish meat and what you get is a festival of colors. The flavor texture is incomparable, hot pepper and galangal, sour green mango, salty sweet seafood and the bittersweet taste of the fiber in the leaves makes it a real treat for the mouth. Don’t forget to wrap them in rice paper and dip them in a locally made sauce before taking a bite for that mouthful of explosive flavors that there are no words to describe.

If you want to feast your eyes and taste buds too, grab a couple of fish salad and head south down the beach road to My Khe Beach. As you continue your Vietnam Tours adventure in this way, you will be amazed at the fantastic view of the Son Tra Peninsula while gazing at the Big Buddha located on the opposite side. And while savoring the lingering taste of “Goi Ca” in your mouth, snap a couple of photos of yourself and your friends with the magnificent East Vietnam Sea in the background.

Welcome to Danang, the city with the best culinary adventure of all Vietnam Tours vacations.
