323. Grilled Fish

Long Xuyên, Vietnam
I was invited to a cook out event at a friend rice's farm, and grilled fish was part of the menu.  This was very authentic dish since I had not see these method of cooking before in my life, and it was served with fresh vegetables as wraps with mixed fish sauce, yummy.... I had also learned from this trip that most farmers would stay at grass huts, similar to the one on the background, temporarily to care for their farm until they harvest their crops, between two or three harvests per year. The weather during this time was so hot and humid, I think it was close to 100s fahrenheit, even the grass hut was not able to keep me cool. I ended up sitting on a hammock with shade next to a stream the whole time.
