Cobia is one of the fatty fish species and is considered one of the best fish for grilling. It is commonly found in the central and southern coastal regions of Vietnam.

Nowadays, cobia is widely farmed. Because it feeds mainly on other fish, its meat remains very flavorful even when farmed. Most cobia available on the market today is farm-raised, while wild cobia usually needs to be ordered in advance.

The fish typically range in size from 3 to 30 kg each
