This year, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the dried fish was also sent to the South as a loving gift from Hue people during the days that Sai Gon city was under social distance for pandemic prevention.

People with experience in making dried fish said that common kinds of fish such as scads and anchovies in all sizes are the most popular options for this dish due to the easy preparation, drying quickly under around 2 sunny days. Therefore, almost every house has several kilograms of dried fish for the rainy season and uses it as a gift for their children living far away.
