How to choose fresh and delicious pineapples
- Choose pineapples that have a bright yellow color from the crown to the base, with a few eyes that may be slightly green; these are ripe fruits that will be sweet and tasty. Fruits that are round and short will have more flesh compared to long-shaped ones.
- Choose pineapples with large, sparse eyes because this indicates that the pineapple is mature and ripened naturally, without being soaked in chemicals.
- You can try smelling the end of the fruit; if it has a fragrant smell, you should buy it. Additionally, avoid selecting fruits that have a slightly sour smell like fermentation, as those pineapples are overripe.
- The greener the crown of the pineapple, the fresher it is. Overripe pineapples will have dry or brown crowns.
- Choose good, fresh pineapples that are not too hard and not too soft; when you press your finger into them, there should be no indentation.
How to Make Pineapple Fish Sauce

Prepare the Ingredients
For the pineapple, you can buy a whole pineapple and peel it yourself, removing the eyes, or you can buy one that is already peeled at the market or grocery stores.

The Simplest Way to Peel a Pineapple
- First, cut the pineapple vertically from top to bottom into 4 equal parts.
- Continue to slice along the length of each piece of pineapple, stopping at the end of the fruit and cutting firmly to detach the flesh from the skin.
- Avoid cutting too close to the skin to prevent leaving any eyes on the flesh. Finally, cut into smaller pieces as needed.
