Ocean Chicken Fish – A Unique Boxfish Specialty from the Nha Trang Sea

Belonging to the boxfish family, Ocean Chicken Fish (also known as Fresh Boxfish) inhabits the deep, clean coral reef waters of Nha Trang – Khanh Hoa. This fish stands out with its boxy shape, tough armor-like scales, and especially its ivory-white flesh that is tender yet slightly chewy, with a naturally sweet and delicate flavor. Seafood enthusiasts often describe it as “strangely addictive.”

Unlike many other saltwater fish, Ocean Chicken Fish has no fishy smell. Its flavor is subtly rich and creamy, the meat firm and exceptionally sweet. It’s suitable for the elderly, children, and even those trying saltwater fish for the first time.
