Cambodia is rich in fish. That’s why the traditional main ingredient of Cambodian food is fish including soup, grilling and frying.

Snakeskin gourami is one of the fish dishes in Cambodia. However it is grilled or fried more than in soup. And mostly Cambodian make it to be a salted dried fish before it is taken to cook.

Like in the photo, it is fried snakeskin gourami. When I eat it, I have to add soup because it is salty. After I eat it, I usually have warm water to prevent throat and nasal trouble.

If talking about the taste, yes it’s good but I don’t recommend this one to old and high blood pressure people. If you are young and in strong health, you can try it but please drink more water after eating it and the best liquid is warm boiled water.
