How to prepare Danang Fish Salad

  Prepare the fish

  After purchasing the fish, wash it thoroughly with water. Then, place the fish on a cutting board and make thin cuts from the tail to the middle of the fish’s body. Next, use a knife to cut along the thin slices you just made on the fish’s body to let the fish meat fall out.

  Continue doing this until you have processed all the fish you bought. If the fish meat is still sticking together, use a knife to slice it further so that the meat separates.

  How to prepare fish without a fishy smell:

  • You can effectively eliminate the fishy smell by soaking the cleaned fish in rice water for about 15 minutes, then take it out and wash it again with water.
  • Mix a few tablespoons of alcohol or white vinegar into the water, then soak the fish for about 5 minutes and wash it again with water.
  • Additionally, you can use lemon juice mixed with warm water, soak the fish for about 5 minutes, then wash it clean to remove the fishy smell.

  Fish Sashimi

  You place the fish in a bowl and squeeze the juice of 3 limes. Next, pour the lime juice into the bowl with the fish and mix it well.

  Then, you cut the chili into small pieces and add everything into the bowl with the fish and mix well. Let the mixture sit for 15 – 20 minutes for the fish to cook slightly.

  After that, squeeze out all the lime juice from the fish, and let the fish drain. Keep the squeezed juice to use as a dipping sauce.
