Salor cari trey.
(Fish curry.)

Savoring fish with spicy coconut curry sauce and eggplant is authentic Khmer Krom food. One of the recipes that my family always cook during New Year celebration week. Back home, we cook fish curry with mainly snakehead fish (trey tok), catfish (trey naing) or basa fish. But any kind of fish that you prefer will work with this recipe.
