Dried Round Scad – High-Protein & Nutritious Seafood for Global Wholesale

1. Introduction to Dried Round Scad

Dried Round Scad (Cá Nục Khô) is one of the most widely consumed and economically important dried fish varieties from Vietnam. Caught in the deep, salt-rich waters of the Central Coast, these fish are prized for their firm texture and mild, savory flavor.

At Vinahugo, we process our Round Scad using both Steam-Dried and Raw-Dried methods. By utilizing modern drying technology, we preserve the high protein and Omega-3 content of the fresh fish while ensuring a long shelf life. Our products are a staple for both retail markets and industrial food processing.
