At this time, fishermen continuously have a big catch of herring and anchovies, so the grills of the people in Nghe An coastal villages are red hot all day and night, with workers busy grilling fish from early morning until late at night.

Để cá chín đều, đẹp và thơm, người nướng phải ngồi túc trực và trở cá liên tục. Vì nếu không đủ nhiệt cá sẽ không chí, nếu quá lửa thì cá sẽ cháy khét. Ảnh: T.P — Ms. Nguyen Thi Xuan, who has many years of experience grilling fish in Quynh Phuong ward (Hoang Mai town) said: “Grilling fish requires experience, care and meticulousness. When placing the fish on the grill, you must measure it so that it fits properly, so that it can be rotated and turned over; when grilling, you must adjust the coals underneath so that the heat is evenly distributed. Each type of fish has different characteristics, some have thick flesh, some have thin flesh, so the time and way of grilling are also different.” Photo: Thanh Phuc

Ms. Ho Thi Thang, owner of a grill in Dien Van commune (Dien Chau) said: "After Tet, market demand increased when people bought as gifts, tourists came back to visit the spring, attend the first festival of the year, so we also opened the shop earlier, on the 4th day of Tet, the fire was already blazing to grill fish. On average, each day our facility grilled about 500 - 700 kg of fish, hiring 4 - 5 workers to work." Photo: Thanh Phuc

Grilling fish provides jobs and stable income for many local workers in coastal areas. Workers at fish grilling establishments are paid between 250,000 and 400,000 VND per day. Photo: TP

lấm lem — However, fish grilling workers have a hard time making a living. “The temperature outside has dropped significantly these days, but next to the red-hot charcoal stove like this, we are sweating. Our hands are constantly stirring the charcoal and turning the fish. Even though we wear two layers of thick gloves, our hands are still hot from the charcoal fire, and our bodies are covered in smoke and dust,” said Ms. Hoang Thi Ly, a fish griller in Nghi Thuy ward (Vinh city).

Currently, in order to increase the advantages of grilled fish, many coastal localities have planned to build modern and sustainable fishing infrastructure to reduce labor and limit environmental pollution caused by coal smoke. Photo: Thanh Phuc

Giá mỗi con cá trích sau khi nướng là 2.000 đồng. Ăn kèm bánh mướt thì 20.000 đồng/đĩa. Còn nếu du khách mua về thì có giá 60.000 đồng/kg.
