In the North, freshwater fish noodle soup is a culinary highlight<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

In northern regions like Hanoi, Hai Phong, and Thai Binh, the noodle soup typically features freshwater fish. The broth is derived from pork bones. The fish is deboned, fried until golden, and then served with the noodles. Diners typically dip the fish into a sauce made from garlic and chili pepper. This dish is called “b\u00fan c\u00e1 ch\u1ea5m” (dipping fish noodles) and is often accompanied by various herbs and vegetables such as pennywort, mustard greens, and perilla.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moving to the Central region, especially in the South-Central coast areas like Da Nang, Nha Trang, and Binh Dinh, fish noodle soup stands out with its distinct characteristics. The primary ingredients come from marine fish and fish cake. The broth is crystal clear, low in fat, and naturally sweet due to the fish bones and head. The toppings include fish cakes, boiled fish meat, or even jellyfish.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Accompanying herbs include lettuce and thinly sliced aromatic herbs<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Fish noodle soups in Da Nang and Binh Dinh are prepared similarly to the one in Nha Trang. Still, a unique feature here is the inclusion of tuna and mackerel, thinly sliced. The distinctive twist is that they are finely blended with pigskin, seasoned with pepper, garlic, and chili, giving the dish a slightly chewy and creamy texture.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Southern region, the most famous variation is the fish noodle soup from Chau Doc (An Giang). The broth is made from simmering spinal bones, and it’s seasoned with Henicorhynchus sauce, shrimp paste, and “ng\u1ea3i b\u00fan” root. The toppings include catfish meat stir-fried with turmeric or roasted pork.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, fish noodle soup is a specialty in many regions across the country. If you’re in the North, you can savor the flavors of fish noodle soup from Hanoi, Thai Binh, and Hai Phong. In the Central region, an excellent representation that you must try is the Nha Trang fish noodle soup. Additionally, you can also taste the tuna fish noodle soup from Hue, and the fish noodle soups from Da Nang and Binh Dinh.
