The catch wasn't huge, but it sold well, especially squid, shrimp, and catfish, bringing in about 7 million VND. Photo: Xuan Hoang |

| Because the fishing takes place near the shore and at night, the seafood is fresh, not frozen, and of good quality, making it easy to sell during this time. Photo: Xuan Hoang |

Reportedly, on this first fishing trip of the year, each boat brought back at least 5 million VND, with some earning 7-8 million VND. Fishermen believe that although the catch wasn't high, traders raised the price of seafood, resulting in higher income than usual. (Photo: Xuan Hoang) |

| According to traders, seafood is in high demand during the Lunar New Year celebrations, especially fresh seafood. Therefore, the prices of premium seafood such as squid, shrimp, crab, and scad have increased. Squid is priced at 120,000 - 150,000 VND/kg, mantis shrimp at 120,000 VND/kg, and scad, which normally costs 150,000 - 170,000 VND/kg, has now risen to 300,000 VND/kg and is still unavailable, as each fishing boat only catches 2-5 kg of scad.

| Mr. Ngo Xuan Thuy, Head of Lach Van Fishing Port, said that fishermen took a break from noon on the 28th of the lunar month, and some fishing boats set sail for their first trip of the year on the afternoon and evening of the 4th day of the lunar month. By noon on the 5th day, about 20 pairs of boats returned to Lach Van Fishing Port. Due to the high demand for fresh seafood at the beginning of the year, the trading session at the fishing port only lasted about an hour. Photo: Xuan Hoang |
