Vietnam Large Seafood Market: Experience the Sea Life with mr.hotsia

When talking about Vietnam, many might think of famous tourist cities like Hoi An, Da Lat, or Nha Trang. But for me, mr.hotsia, coming to walk through this large seafood market in Vietnam is a unique experience. I want to invite everyone to truly feel the fishing community's way of life here.

This large seafood market is not located in a well-known tourist city but serves as a fresh seafood hub directly from fishing boats to local buyers and small vendors. I traveled along streets filled with the salty sea breeze mixed with the aroma of local spices and herbs used by the villagers to cook. This market reflects the true coastal life.

Upon entering the market, groups of fishermen were unloading various types of fish, including deep-sea fish, shrimp, squid, and fresh shellfish from the sea. The fish were neatly arranged, yet the market remained lively with the constant sounds of bargaining. This is the life that I, mr.hotsia, want to say has a charm equal to anywhere else in the world.

What impressed me was tasting freshly grilled button squid over a charcoal stove by the market. The aroma of grilled squid combined with the sweetness of the meat reminded me of a clip I once recorded inVietnam Grilled Button Squidwhich captures the deliciousness without much seasoning. Eating hot, crunchy squid amid conversations and the sound of the sea is an indescribable feeling.

This seafood market is also where I closely observed how vendors manage and select fish, showing their dedication to maintaining freshness and quality, which is the heart of doing business here. Additionally, this market is an important seafood supplier for restaurants in nearby towns and communities in Lang Son province, where I have traveled before.Lang Son Province, Vietnambefore.

For tourists wanting to experience this large seafood market, mr.hotsia recommends coming early in the morning because dawn is when the freshest fish are delivered to the market and the atmosphere is most lively. The freshness of seafood here is rare to find in ordinary markets. There is also a chance to meet friendly locals who share stories about their daily lives.

After walking, tasting, and exploring the market, I also tried Vietnamese-style chicken biryani, which tastes distinctly different from the Thai version—smooth and with unique spices. The clip I recorded of the chicken biryaniVietnamese Chicken Biryanihelps to clearly show the atmosphere and flavor of the dish.

Traveling to this seafood market is convenient because it is not far from the main city of Lang Son province, where I stayed and experienced the warmth of the local community.Lang Son Province, Vietnamis a province with beautiful nature and interesting culture comparable to other places.

If anyone is interested in visiting this large seafood market, I, mr.hotsia, recommend preparing suitable footwear because the market floor can be wet and slippery. Also, be ready to embrace the smells and sounds that might seem unusual to tourists. But I assure you, every difficulty is worth the experience gained.

This seafood market is not just a place to buy and sell seafood but also a destination for travelers wanting to truly experience the life of fishermen. It is another gateway to understanding the local culture of northern Vietnam that I, mr.hotsia, want everyone to visit at least once in their lifetime.
