Braised fish is served with rice and a bowl of fish sour soup - the soup is also very popular in Vietnam.

While braised fish is ranked at number 100, another Vietnamese fish dish, fish sour soup, is at number 18.

Fish sour soup is famous for its combination of sweet, spicy and sour flavors. Soups are usually made with tamarind broth and include ingredients such as pineapple, tomatoes, okra, bean sprouts or other vegetables. 

The original fish sour soup is made with catfish, but some versions use carp, snakehead, eel or salmon. These soups are often sprinkled with cilantro and served with rice.
