(Baonghean.vn) - As one of the major seafood wholesale markets in Cua Lo, Nghi Thuy fish market is bustling with buying and selling all year round, and is especially bustling during the tourist season. The fish market usually opens at 5am, becoming an indispensable destination for every tourist when coming to this beautiful coastal town.

Từ sáng sớm, chợ cá Nghi Thủy đã nhộn nhịp

From early morning, Nghi Thuy fishing port has been bustling with boats, carrying many kinds of fresh seafood. The scene of "above the wharf, below the boats" stretching nearly half a kilometer makes visitors who see it for the first time surprised and delighted. Photo: Ho Dinh Chien

The seafood unloaded from the boats is very diverse: mackerel, silver pomfret, scad, herring, mantis shrimp, crab... Most of the traders already have familiar boats, so transportation and transactions take place very urgently to be on time for the "market opening". Photo: Hai Vuong

The atmosphere of the morning fish market is very "attractive" to tourists. Some are eager to take photos, recording the moments of working in the sea; others are busy choosing goods, bargaining... Photo: Hai Vuong

The trays of squid, steamed squid, turmeric shrimp, snails, clams... are so fresh and delicious that it's hard to resist, making anyone who "gets lost" in them want to buy them home. Photo: Hai Vuong

In addition to the fixed stalls, the fish market also has many small traders who sell retail products and warmly invite customers. Nghi Thuy fish market rarely has the "forced buying" scene that makes tourists uncomfortable, and most of the traders are quite happy to chat. Photo: Hai Vuong
