Dried Herring – High-Protein & Nutritious Dried Fish for International Export

1. Introduction to Dried Herring

Dried Herring (Cá Trích Khô) is a premium seafood commodity harvested from the abundant coastal waters of Vietnam. Known for its distinct silvery scales and rich oil content, herring is a powerhouse of Omega-3 fatty acids and high-quality protein.

At Vinahugo, our herring is processed immediately after the catch to lock in its natural flavor and nutritional profile. Using a combination of traditional sun-drying and modern heat-pump technology, we produce a product that is perfectly preserved, visually appealing, and ready for various culinary and industrial uses.
