Goby fish known as “cá kèo” in Vietnam, is a popular freshwater fish renowned for its rich flavor and firm texture. It is commonly used in Vietnamese cuisine in various traditional dishes. One of the most popular ways to prepare Goby fish is “cá kèo nướng” (grilled Goby fish), where the fish is marinated with herbs and spices and grilled to perfection. It is also featured in “canh chua cá kèo” (sour Goby fish soup), a flavorful and tangy soup with fresh vegetables and herbs. Its versatility and ability to absorb flavors make it a favorite ingredient for both simple home-cooked meals and more elaborate dishes. Rich in protein and low in fat, mudfish is a nutritious and delicious option.
