Goi ca mai (Mai fish salad)
Goi ca mai is a refreshing and bold-flavored salad made with raw mai fish, a local specialty of the Binh Thuan coast. It’s light, tangy, and best enjoyed with rice paper and herbs.
The fish is carefully cleaned and mixed with lime juice, onion, garlic, and crushed roasted peanuts.
To reduce fishiness, locals soak the fish in vinegar and lemon, then toss with herbs like mint and basil.
