Cá kho tộ is a Vietnamese specialty made with fatty fish cuts that are braised in traditional clay pots (tộ). The dish is usually prepared with catfish (cá mèo) or snakehead (cá lóc) that is braised and caramelized in a combination of fish sauce, sugar, and coconut water, while other additions include sliced scallions, onions, or garlic.

Cá kho tộ is traditionally served with rice on the side, and it is often accompanied by a bowl of canh chua cá—the fish-based Vietnamese soup.
