On these sunny days, at around 2am at Nghi Thuy ward fishing wharf, fishing boats have started to dock after a day of fishing. The busiest time for trading is from 3am to 5am. Many large ships cannot dock and have to be transferred by small boats. Photo: Huy Thu |

Mackerel, silver pomfret, herring, tuna, shrimp, squid, crab, etc. were stored in plastic trays. Photo: Huy Thu |

On the shore, hundreds of traders were on standby, preparing to choose their goods. The sound of boats entering the dock, the sound of oars, the sound of bargaining, the hustle and bustle of buyers and sellers made the atmosphere of the fishing port bustling. Photo: Huy Thu |
