Fresh Unicorn Filefish – “Sea Cavalry” Brimming with Nutrition from Vietnamese Waters

With a tough, armor-like skin, the unicorn filefish—also known as the leatherjacket filefish—is naturally caught around vibrant coral reefs. Its distinctive armored appearance resembles a knight’s breastplate, while the flesh inside is delicately sweet, white, tender yet firm, with clearly defined layers.

A Nutrient-Rich Powerhouse from the Sea:

• Pure Protein: Supports muscle development, cell regeneration, and overall physical health.

• Abundant Omega‑3: Enhances brain function, lowers bad cholesterol, regulates blood pressure – ideal for the elderly and intellectual workers.

• Vitamins & Minerals: Rich in B12, D, calcium, potassium, and selenium – helping strengthen bones, boost immunity, and improve circulation.

• Low Fat, Easily Digestible: Light and healthy meat, suitable for dieters, children, and those recovering from illness.

Culinary Highlights at Ran Bien:

• Boiled Rice Porridge: Simmered from fish bones and rice, the meat is hand-shredded to retain natural sweetness and mild chewiness. A nourishing breakfast or light appetizer.

• Charcoal Grilled: Grilled whole over hot coals to preserve its rich aroma and flavor. The skin crisps slightly while the inner meat remains tender and sweet—best enjoyed with green chili salt for an authentic coastal flavor.

• Hotpot: Pairs well with sour bamboo shoot broth, Thai-style spicy soup, or a sweet veggie-based hotpot. The meat stays firm and succulent, unlike many softer fish varieties.
