For years, Herring Salad has been a culinary symbol of Phu Quoc Island - an exquisite harmony of fresh fish, rich coconut, and a hint of spicy zest from local herbs and seasonings.

Now, you no longer need to travel far to savor this island favorite. At Delight Restaurant, part of Iconic Long Hai Hotel, Phu Quoc-style Herring Salad is reimagined with a modern twist - preserving its coastal soul while embracing a more contemporary dining experience.

The Phu Quoc-style herring salad set includes fresh sliced herring, assorted herbs, rice paper, and a tangy-spicy dipping sauce.

 

What Makes Phu Quoc-Style Herring Salad So Special?

 

Fresh herring – the soul of the dish

Thinly sliced fresh herring is lightly cured with rice vinegar or lime juice. This delicate preparation helps eliminate any fishy taste while preserving the fish’s natural sweetness and signature freshness.

 

Grated coconut – a rich and nutty accent

Finely shredded fresh coconut is generously sprinkled over the cured herring, adding a subtle creaminess that balances the heat from the spices and brings a smooth, pleasant texture to the dish.

 

Aromatic herbs and spices – flavor boosters

Shallots, garlic, chili, and a dash of premium fish sauce are essential. These ingredients create a gentle spiciness and inviting aroma that awaken the senses from the very first bite.

 

Fresh greens – the perfect companion

The dish is typically served with fresh herbs like lime leaves, fish mint, coriander, and local garden greens. Their cooling effect adds a refreshing contrast, making the salad light, balanced, and endlessly enjoyable.
