The seafood caught was not much, but it sold well, especially squid, shrimp, anchovies... for about 7 million VND. Photo: Xuan Hoang |

Due to operating close to shore and fishing at night, the seafood is fresh, not iced, of good quality, and easy to consume during this time. Photo: Xuan Hoang |

It is known that in the first sea trip of the year, each boat brought home at least 5 million VND, and at most 7-8 million VND. Fishermen said that although the first sea trip of the year did not yield much, traders raised the price of seafood, so their income was higher than usual. Photo: Xuan Hoang |

Traders said that at this time, people are enjoying the Spring Festival, so seafood consumption is strong, especially fresh seafood. Therefore, delicious seafood products such as squid, shrimp, crab, and anchovy fish have increased in price. Squid costs from 120,000 - 150,000 VND/kg, mantis shrimp 120,000 VND/kg, anchovy fish usually costs 150,000 - 170,000 VND/kg, now it has increased to 300,000 VND/kg but is still not available for sale, because each fishing boat can only catch 2 - 5 kg of anchovy fish.

Mr. Ngo Xuan Thuy - Head of Lach Van Fishing Port said that people had Tet holiday from noon on the 28th of Tet, and by the afternoon and evening of the 4th of Tet, some fishing boats set sail for the first trip of the year. By noon on the 5th, about 20 pairs of boats returned to Lach Van fishing port. Because fresh seafood is in high demand at the beginning of the year, the trading session at the fishing port only lasted about 1 hour. Photo: Xuan Hoang |
