Charcoal Grilled Fish

The locals continue to show great passion for steamed dishes, and “ca nuong do” remains a standout option. Various types of fish, including carp and catfish caught in the Đà River, are fresh and nutritious. These fish are expertly broiled on thin sticks that pierce through their bodies, while bamboo clips secure them above the glowing fire. This unique method enhances the dish's flavor, infusing it with a delightful fragrance. Once the fish is perfectly broiled, it is seasoned with salt, wrapped in banana leaves, and steamed to perfection. It is customary to serve steamed broiled fish alongside “com lam” (bamboo tube rice). “Com lam” is sticky and aromatic, beautifully complementing the salty tenderness of the steamed broiled fish. The harmonious blend of sweet fish and fragrant rice truly tantalizes the palate of anyone fortunate enough to indulge in this dish.
