Cha ca Phan Thiet (Phan Thiet fish cake)
Cha ca Phan Thiet is a staple of the coastal cuisine, made from freshly caught fish finely ground and seasoned before being fried to golden perfection. It’s both a street snack and a favorite ingredient in many local dishes.

The fish is pounded by hand to achieve a chewy yet tender texture, then seasoned with garlic, pepper, and fish sauce.

After frying, the cakes are crispy on the outside while remaining moist and savory inside.
