Sa Pa salmon is an attractive and nutritious dish that any tourist wants to enjoy once when they come to Sa Pa and Lao Cai because of the unique delicious taste.
The type of fish raised in Sa Pa is mainly rainbow trout, also known as salmon, which are being raised in many places such as Thac Bac, Ta Giang Phinh and Ban Khoang. To set up the salmon farm, tourists often choose the Silver Falls area, because it is located at the foot of Fansipan peak, near the big road, so it is very convenient to stop. Cold water is taken from the main source of Silver waterfall (with average annual water temperature of about 15oc) to ensure the growth and development of the best salmon.

The climate is cool all year round and the winter is cold, and even snow cover has created a kind of salmon with quality and color that is not inferior to any salmon imported into Vietnam. Sa Pa salmon has firm meat, fine grain, no fat, fresh pink, soft, sweet and very suitable for processing into various dishes such as fried, steamed, salad, hotpot, porridge, grilled salmon foil, steamed fish eggs, smoked fish, green vegetable salad served with salmon soaked in orange and green pepper ... If you want to bring Sa Pa salmon specialties as a gift, you can also choose salmon scoop.
 In the cold weather, sitting sipping a glass of fragrant wine and enjoying salmon specialties will be an interesting experience for those who love the land of Sa Pa in particular and Lao Cai in general.
