Fish head can be substituted with fish bones. If using a large fish head, have your fish monger chop the fish head into smaller pieces, approx. 6cm for easier frying. Besides clams, you can use razor clams or mussels. Add mung bean vermicelli or rice vermicelli to make it a meal. But be sure to put the fish head or fish bone in a fish bag to prevent bones from getting mixed with the vermicelli. It’s also common to add tofu, fish balls and preserved vegetables to this soup.
