Mực Một Nắng. A Unique Gift from the Sea

Mực Một Nắng (One Day Dry Squid) consists of squid caught from the coast of Danang, and then dried in the sun for one day, retaining all the deliciousness of the meat.
Once grilled, the essence comes from the smoky aroma, and it also retains the sweetness of the squid.

The Fishing Tradition in Danang

My Adventure Discovering One Day Dry Squid

One of my best experiences was a squid fishing journey in Danang. Alex and I took a night squid fishing tour.
At about 7 PM, we boarded a wooden boat, and Alex shone the boat's high-powered light into the darkness of the sea. Before long, schools of squid were swimming toward the light, and thus the squiding hunt began.
The next fun and exciting day was when Alex prepared the squid and laid them out in the sun. The next evening, we grilled our first mực Một Nắng, and to this day is a meal that remains in my mind.
