The tuna eye delicacy from Phu Yen, a specialty of Central Vietnam, surprises tourists.
Tuna eyes from Phu Yen - a unique specialty dish that is not only nutritious and more expensive than shrimp and fish, but also amazes tourists with its unforgettable delicious flavor.
Vietnamese cuisine always captivates tourists with its diversity and incredibly unique dishes. One of them is the eye of the giant tuna – a famous specialty of Phu Yen, which has surprised many people when they learned that just a part of the fish could become a "star" on the culinary map of Central Vietnam.
With their large size, each fish eye can weigh up to 200g, and they are rich in Omega-3, DHA, vitamins A and E, and many valuable minerals, making this dish both delicious and nutritious. Priced from 120,000 to 150,000 VND per kilogram, it can even be more expensive than many other common seafood items.
In Phu Yen, tourists can easily enjoy tuna eyes in many variations, the most famous being tuna eyes stewed with Chinese herbs such as jujube, goji berries, and ginger... fragrant, sweet, good for the eyes and cardiovascular health. There are also steamed tuna eyes, tuna eyes in porridge, and tuna eyes in hot pot, each preparation method offering a different but equally impressive flavor.
Beyond tuna eye, Phu Yen also welcomes diners with sweet and fresh scad fish salad, flavorful rice vermicelli with pork offal, and a variety of fresh seafood from coastal fishing villages – creating an unforgettable culinary journey for anyone who sets foot in the land of "I see yellow flowers on green grass".
