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.
