The secret to preserving the freshness, crispness, and sweetness of squid, passed down through generations by fishermen, is to boil it right on the boat after each catch. This results in a higher selling price and makes it more sought after by traders. (Photo: TP)

Particularly in Cua Lo (Vinh City), due to the unique practice of night squid fishing near the shore, fishermen have found ways to keep the squid alive in the boat's hold. The squid arrive at shore still swimming, and when caught and sold, they are still fresh, twitching, with eyes and spots on their bodies shimmering with iridescent colors, hence the name "jumping squid" or "flashing squid." The selling price can reach 350,000 - 500,000 VND/kg. (Photo: TP)

At the beginning of the tourist season, fishermen had a bumper catch of squid, and the high selling price made everyone happy. Fisherman Nguyen Van Son, the owner of a fishing boat in Quynh Phuong ward, said: “After 5 days at sea, the boat caught 4 tons of squid along with other types of fish such as tuna, mackerel, and scad. After deducting expenses, each crew member earned 6 million VND.” Photo: TP
