The Trần Quý Cáp branch — the same family gỏi cá mai recipe from 1977 and the same secret sauce as the original shop.
Ghé khung 11h–13h hoặc 17h–19h là cá tươi ngon nhất. Gọi kèm bún cá nếu đi nhóm đông để bữa đầy đặn hơn.
Not a restaurant — a family keeping one recipe. Since 1977 Cô Hằng has done exactly one dish, and done it properly: gỏi cá mai, a salad of raw silver herring. The fish comes in with that morning's catch, the flesh clear and sweet; it is tossed with toasted rice powder and herbs, rolled in rice paper and dipped in a bowl of fish sauce mixed to a secret formula — a sauce that has not changed its taste in nearly fifty years, and has never left the family.
For people in Nha Trang, gỏi cá mai is the dish you tell a visitor they have to try: hand-roasted peanuts, herbs from the garden, and a sauce you will not find anywhere else. Come to Nha Trang and never sit down to roll gỏi cá mai, and you have not tasted the whole of this coast.
Come to Nha Trang without eating gỏi cá mai and the trip is not complete
One family, one recipe, nearly 50 years. Fish landed that morning, rolled in rice paper and dipped in a secret fish sauce — the same taste since 1977.
