Ba Ben dried anchovies 250g (shredded)
Dried anchovies are a Vietnamese specialty, made from fresh anchovies caught in the wild (usually from the central or southern coastal regions). "Shredded" means the fish has been shredded, the flesh/bones separated (shredded or filleted), and the head, bones, and internal organs removed, making it very clean, convenient, and ready to eat without further processing. This type is usually softer, with the flesh separated into small strands, suitable as a topping or snack.
The convenient 250g pack is perfect for small families or for trying out the fish. It has a natural yellowish-white color, is delicious, and has no fishy smell.
Key features
High-quality dried fish: Soft, white flesh, separated fibers, no small bones, and a natural sea aroma (no mold or strong fishy smell).
The tear-off type is super convenient: No need for extensive washing or deboning, can be eaten directly or used in quick cooking, and is less salty than the whole type.
Nutrient-rich: High in protein, omega-3, calcium (retains a lot even after removing the bones), iron, and vitamin B12 – good for cardiovascular health and joints, especially suitable for children (no risk of choking on bones) and the elderly.
