Dried Pacific Saury – Premium Quality Bluefish for Global Export

1. Introduction to Dried Pacific Saury

Dried Pacific Saury (Cá Thu Đao Khô), also known as Sanma, is a highly nutritious bluefish prized for its elongated shape and rich oil content. Harvested from the cold, clean waters of the North Pacific and processed in Vietnam’s high-tech drying facilities, this fish is a staple in East Asian cuisines, particularly in South Korea and Japan.

At Vinahugo, we offer Fully Dried and Semi-Dried (Gwamegi-style) Pacific Saury. Our drying process preserves the high levels of Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) and Vitamin D, resulting in a product that is both intensely flavorful and beneficial for health.
