Four giant groupers weighing more than half a ton have just been imported to Ho Chi Minh City, one of which weighs up to 170 kg.

On March 11, Mr. Ly Nhi Nghia, representative of Hang Duong Quan restaurant (Road 65, District 7, HCMC) said he had just imported 4 giant grouper fish weighing more than half a ton.

These four groupers were purchased by traders in the Central region, transported by truck to Ho Chi Minh City, and sold to the restaurant. The groupers were still alive when they arrived at the restaurant. The heaviest grouper weighed 170 kg, the remaining three weighed more than 130 kg.

Dozens of people carried a fish when arriving in Ho Chi Minh City.

According to Mr. Nghia, natural giant grouper has delicious meat quality, rich in nutrients, so it is often favored by diners. Therefore, when traders announced that there were large giant groupers, the restaurant imported them. In addition to 4 giant groupers, there were also about 20 large yellow groupers from 8 to 10 kg that were also imported this time.

The giant fish was still swimming very healthily when brought to Ho Chi Minh City.

According to seafood traders in Ho Chi Minh City, the 170 kg giant grouper is the largest giant grouper ever imported to Ho Chi Minh City.

Saltwater fish are so large that the journey from capture to transport over hundreds of kilometers is often very difficult. Keeping them alive is very rare.

The giant grouper, scientifically known as Epinephelus lanceolatus, is the largest bony fish found on coral reefs. It lives throughout the Indian and Pacific Oceans, except the Persian Gulf. It lives in shallow waters and feeds on a variety of marine life, including small sharks and small sea turtles.
