Chả Cá is Hanoi’s most theatrical dish. It consists of firm white fish (traditionally Hemibagrus) marinated in turmeric and galangal, then pan-fried tableside with massive amounts of fresh dill and spring onions. It is served with rice vermicelli, roasted peanuts, and **Mắm Tôm** (fermented shrimp paste). Order it as **"Chả Cá"**; specify if you want **"Nước Mắm"** if the shrimp paste is too pungent for you. The trap is going to the "original" Lã Vọng and expecting high service; it is historic but often criticized for being overpriced and indifferent. Better quality is found at modern specialists. Expect to pay 150,000–300,000 VND.
