Nha Trang is famous not only for its natural landscape of long, beautiful beaches and friendly and hospitable people, but also for its delicious cuisine. The fish and noodle dish is a prime example of fresh, local fare that is popular among long-time residents and out-of-towners alike.
People often say that if you visit Nha Trang without trying this dish, you do not really know Nha Trang yet. You will find sidewalk establishments serving up fish and noodles morning, noon and night on practically any street in Nha Trang, so there is no excuse not to try it!
Unlike the fish and noodles served in Hanoi or Haiphong, Nha Trang fish and noodles is made with fried fish, a specialty of this beach town. Nha Trang fried fish is especially delicious because of its freshness and the limited use of added flavourings, preserving the true taste.
A bowl of noodles with pieces of fried or steamed fish along with the simple additions of tomato and onion never fails to grab tourist taste buds. Sipping this broth with its clean, light flavour and taking firm chunks of fried fish, you will enjoy the salty taste of the sea. For even more deliciousness, this meal is normally served with fresh vegetables including lettuce, bean sprouts and basil. You can taste-test your steaming bowl of fish and noodles as soon as it arrives on your table, but you may want to fire up your bite of fish with a touch of chilli powder, shrimp sauce or other dipping sauces which you’ll inevitably find on your table.
The popularity of fish and noodles among both local people in Nha Trang and international tourists is because of its simple, natural flavour. The clean, fresh taste of this dish is guaranteed to stay with you.
