Captain Nam on Instagram: "Dedicating this one to my roots. To my Vietnamese fam, tap in if you grew up on Canh Chua Cá (sweet and sour fish soup). This one hits different. I never had it at a restaurant, only at home, around the dinner table, surrounded by family. A recipe passed down through generations, and one I’ll keep alive."
