The central coastal city of Nha Trang in Khanh Hoa Province is well-known for its wide range of seafood specialties. Of them, the flavorsome fish paste vermicelli soup is a favorite among foodies

The specialty from Nha Trang is a perfect combination of fish paste, slices of mackerel and fresh herbs. Although the dish is relatively easy to prepare, it involves a lot of ingredients. 

 
The fish paste made by the Nha Trang people is often heavy on spices, resulting in a unique taste. Mackerel, flying fish or knifefish is commonly used to make the fish paste for the soup, while jellyfish with a crunchy and crispy texture is then added.
 
The broth is made by boiling pork bones and fish for several hours, resulting in a distinct sweetness. The soup is accompanied by a plate of fresh herbs, some water spinach, banana flowers and bean sprouts to elevate its flavor.
 
However, the dish is not complete without the dipping sauce, a mixture of fish sauce, minced garlic and chili. Together, they’re a match made in heaven.
 
It is often said that no trip to Nha Trang is complete without enjoying a hearty bowl of fish paste vermicelli soup. And few would dare to argue.
