According to fishermen who work as trawlers, in recent days the sea has been calm so fishermen bring their fishing gear out to sea to fish. This season, there are a lot of garfish, so everyone can catch 200-300 kg of fish. To catch these fish, people use a trawl net hundreds of meters long and 4 meters wide to pull from the sea to the shore. Each trawl net pulled ashore requires at least 15 workers. Photo: Viet Hung |

The fish is small and has a very hard dorsal fin. This fish is rich in nutrients. If it is large, it can be exported. If it is small, it can be processed into delicious sour soup, especially good for pregnant women. Photo: Viet Hung |
