1. Introduction to Dried Stingray
Table of Contents
Dried Stingray (Khô Cá Đuối) is a unique and highly sought-after seafood product from Vietnam’s coastal provinces. Known for its distinct fan-like shape and a flavor profile that combines the saltiness of the sea with a rich, slightly gamey sweetness, it is a favorite in Southeast Asian and East Asian cuisines.
At Vinahugo, our stingray is harvested from the deep waters of the East Sea and processed immediately to maintain its quality. We offer both Natural Dried Stingray and Black Pepper Marinated Stingray. The cartilaginous structure of the fish makes the dried version particularly enjoyable, as it becomes crunchy and flavorful when grilled or fried.
