Herring salad

The sophistication of herring salad does not lie in the individual stand-up fish plate. It is the blend of fresh fish meat, fatty grated coconut, cool wild vegetables rolled in a layer of flexible rice paper and then dipped in a cup of smooth peanut fish sauce that creates an ensemble of enchanting flavors.

Choosing and ordering food

Take a piece of rice paper, put a few wild vegetables, a little grated coconut and pick up a few pieces of fresh herring, roll it up to fit in your hand and lightly dip it in a cup of peanut fish sauce. Each shop will have a way to re-lemon the fish and prepare a typical dipping sauce. If you are not used to using raw seafood, don't hesitate to ask the seller about the paleness of the fish before ordering.

If you can't eat carp, you can completely choose other cooked seafood dishes.
Order a sufficient amount of servings because enjoying each salad needs leisure and meticulousness.
