Horned Leatherjacket Fish – The Hidden Star Beneath Nha Trang’s Crystal Waters

At Ran Bien, we source 100% freshly caught Horned Leatherjacket fish straight from the pristine waters of Nha Trang. Known for their firm texture, naturally sweet flavor, and ocean-fresh aroma, these fish are a true hidden gem of Vietnam’s central coast.

More than just delicious, the Horned Leatherjacket is a rare “nutritional powerhouse”:

• High-Quality Protein: Supports muscle growth and energy recovery after activity.

• Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Helps regulate blood pressure, promotes heart health, and boosts brain function.

• Low Fat & Low Calorie: Ideal for those on a diet or maintaining a healthy figure.

• Vitamins & Minerals: Packed with vitamin B12, D, calcium, potassium, and selenium — great for bones, immune support, and anti-aging benefits.

At Ran Bien, we turn this sea treasure into culinary artistry with a variety of preparation styles:

• Grilled Whole : Char-grilled over hot coals, the skin slightly crisped while the inside stays moist and flavorful. The smoky aroma brings the feel of a beach barbecue right into the heart of the city.

• Salt & Chili Grilled : Covered in a savory salt-chili crust, grilled until the edges are crispy. The mild spiciness combines perfectly with the natural sweetness of the fish — a flavor combo that lingers long after the first bite.

• Crispy Fried: Lightly battered and fried until golden, the crunchy crust wraps around tender, juicy fish. Best enjoyed wrapped with fresh herbs and rice paper for a refreshing bite.

• Sour Bamboo Hotpot : Simmered with tangy bamboo shoots and fresh herbs. The fish retains its firmness and absorbs the mild sourness of the broth. Add a few slices of fresh chili to elevate the taste.

At Ran Bien Seafood Restaurant, every Horned Leatherjacket dish is crafted by experienced chefs, ensuring a premium seafood experience where the essence of the ocean is captured and refined.
