Very delicious but a bit bony, be careful when eating. Bought two more boxes.
kathy200905
The goby looks delicious and I will try it. But I don't heat it in a clay pot because I saw the California cancer warning. The paint and quality of the clay pot are not guaranteed. I leave it on the stove to warm it up a bit, then take the fish out and transfer it to a pan to heat it up.
kathy200905
It's delicious everyone, you should try it if you haven't tried it yet
Thanh
Very fresh and delicious. Will buy again.
wendyhoang
The packaging is very careful, I didn't think there would be a clay pot like this. The stew is a bit bland, probably in the Southern style, not as rich as Hue's, but if you take it out and add some color and stew it again, it's very delicious! Will continue to support.
