4. Grilled O Fish

Grilled O fish is a specialty of Phu Yen. After cleaning to remove any fishy odor, the fish is marinated with a variety of seasonings like garlic, onions, and chili. To prevent the fish from burning and enhance the flavor, it is wrapped in foil. Grilling the fish over charcoal gives it a unique aroma and evenly cooked texture.
Once cooked, the fish releases a fragrant smell, and the spices have fully soaked into the fish's flesh. Wrap the fish with fresh herbs, rice paper, shredded coconut, and a homemade dipping sauce, and you’ll be captivated by this dish. The dipping sauce is made from fermented fish – a traditional sauce in Phu Yen, made from the intestines of fresh O fish, with a dark, thick color. For those not accustomed to fermented fish sauce, you can dip it in a regular garlic-chili fish sauce.
