TasteAtlas said that the term Canh chua cá encompasses various fish-based Vietnamese soups that are characterised by their combination of sweet, spicy, and sour tastes.
“The soups are usually made with a tamarind-based broth, and they typically include chunks of pineapple, tomatoes, okra, bean sprouts, or other vegetables,” it noted.
The food magazine also revealed that most varieties are prepared with catfish, although some versions do include ingredients such as carp, snakehead fish, eels, and salmon. These soups are usually topped with cilantro and served with rice on the side.
