AKP Phnom Penh, January 02, 2025 --

The Fisheries Administration of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries has announced another best time to make Cambodia’s traditional fermented fish (locally called Prahok) and dried fish, i.e. from Jan. 2 to 10 in case there is clear sky, no rain or thunderstorm.

The Fisheries Administration thus encouraged interested Cambodians to start making fermented and dried fish during the said period.

The notification followed the observation of increasing fish in the Tonle Sap River, especially in Phnom Penh and Kandal province.

As more catch is available, the price of the fish will be more reasonable for Cambodians to make this staple food reserve.

The fisheries administration also called on concerned authorities at all levels to help facilitate the production of fermented and dried fish.
