Dumpling fish is a type of marine fish that is abundant in our waters, a type of fish with a long body like an eel, the length when the fish matures is 50-80cm long. The skin is light green, the tail is round, not flat like an eel's tail. Fish only live in the natural environment of brackish water, coastal estuaries, fish cannot be farmed, so the price is quite expensive. To process this salad is also very laborious, the fish is cleaned with salt or with ash or dilute lime water to remove the viscosity. Then the cook peeled the skin, removed the bones, and took the meat separately. Thinly sliced fish meat is squeezed with fresh lemon, then squeezed dry, mixed with hearing made from glutinous rice. Fish salad is served with many different vegetables such as perilla basil, mint, centella asiatica....
