Dien Chau fishermen's boats are mainly small-capacity and fish in the open sea, so they usually go to sea in the evening and return to port at noon the next day. Photo: Xuan Hoang
When the boat arrives at the port, all seafood is picked up and purchased by traders on the spot. During the buying and selling process, many fishermen do not wear masks, and authorities at all levels recommend that people strictly follow Covid-19 prevention regulations. Photo: Xuan Hoang
Because of offshore fishing and short travel times, most seafood is not preserved with ice. When arriving at port, fishermen select each type of seafood, then put it on trays for easy transport. Photo: Xuan Hoang
Old fisherman Nguyen Van Cong in Dien Thanh commune (Dien Chau) happily said that his boat caught nearly 1 ton of spotted fish on this trip. Traders buy 15,000 VND/kg of spotted fish, so Mr. Cong's boat was lucky to earn nearly 15 million VND on this trip. Photo: Xuan Hoang
Mantis shrimp is a familiar product for offshore fishing boats. During this holiday season, mantis shrimp is easy to consume, priced from 80,000 to 120,000 VND/kg. Photo: Xuan Hoang
Although it is the April 30 and May 1 holidays, fishermen still go to sea as usual. Therefore, the seafood trading area of ​​Lach Van Fishing Port is still bustling from 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. every day. The fact that people are crowded at the fishing port, many of whom do not wear masks, shows their subjectivity in preventing and fighting the Covid-19 epidemic, even though the epidemic is very complicated.
