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 have to measure it so that it fits well, so that it can be rotated and turned over; when grilling, you have to adjust the coals underneath so that the heat is evenly distributed. Each type of fish has different characteristics, some have thick bodies, some have thin meat, so the grilling time and method are also different.” Photo: Thanh Phuc

To cook the fish evenly, beautifully and fragrantly, the griller must sit and turn the fish continuously. Because if the heat is not enough, the fish will not cook, if the heat is too high, the fish will burn. 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 it as gifts, tourists came back for spring, went to festivals at the beginning 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, our facility grills about 500 - 700 kg of fish per day, hiring 4 - 5 workers to work." Photo: Thanh Phuc

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