Welcome to a culinary journey of delightful spaces and delectable, rustic flavors. Among the many delights, we present to you the unique and beloved ‘long hui’ fish, a local favorite with a delicious, firm-fleshed taste that will tantalize your palate.
1. Introducing the ‘Long Hui’ Fish (Cá Ót)
The ‘long hui’ fish, or Cá Ót, is a small yet mighty creature with soft, sweet meat and a delicious flavor. Its bones, however, present a challenge as they are incredibly hard, earning it the nickname “long hui.” This fish is incredibly versatile and can be prepared in a variety of mouthwatering dishes, including stews and hot pots.
Firm and Flavorful Fish Fillet
According to local fisherman Nguyen Thanh Dinh from Minh Chau Island in Quang Ninh Province, there’s a unique ritual to preparing this fish: “After catching this fish, one must remove the slimy coating on its body; only then can you get a good grip. As you do so, it makes a distinctive ‘ót, ọt’ sound, which could be the origin of its name.”

2. The Famous ‘Long Hui’ Fish Hot Pot
Considered the signature dish of Quang Ninh Province, the ‘long hui’ fish hot pot is a culinary masterpiece. Reservations are a must if you want to indulge in this delicacy. The fish is cooked with bứa, a fruit with a tangy, sweet, and subtly fragrant flavor that typically ripens in the summer. Together, they create a scrumptious and robust broth that will tantalize your taste buds.
During the off-season, locals remove the fruit’s pulp, sun-dry it, and then cook it with a little shrimp paste, adding just the right amount of spices to create a delicious hot pot broth. As for the fish, it’s important to add it to the boiling broth and remove it as soon as its eyes pop, indicating that the flesh is firm and ready to be savored.
The ‘long hui’ fish hot pot boasts a refreshing sour and sweet broth, complemented by the fish’s soft and sweet meat. It’s a dish fit for a king and worthy of being a specialty of the renowned Quang Ninh Province. However, diners should be cautious of the fish’s hard bones. Accompany your hot pot with various vegetables like celery, chrysanthemum greens, Chinese cabbage, and lettuce for a well-rounded meal.
