Lobster
Vietnam's lobster is very famous. In Da Nang, newly caught live lobsters cost about 1,300K VND per kilogram, or about RMB 380. The price of lobster in restaurants and seafood stalls is slightly higher, around 1600K VND. According to locals, the price of lobster was not so expensive a few years ago. At that time, one kilogram could be bought for one to two hundred yuan. Many Chinese people traveling to Vietnam would eat a big lobster meal when they arrived in Da Nang. In the past two years, due to the impact of global economic integration, the price of lobsters in Da Nang has continued to rise, and now it is basically close to the price of lobsters in coastal cities in China. That is to say, eating lobster in Da Nang is not cheap, but it is relatively fresh.
But frozen lobsters are cheaper. At Da Nang SON TAR night market, larger lobsters cost 500K VND, while smaller ones only cost 120K VND, which is equivalent to dozens of RMB per kilogram. This kind of frozen crayfish usually has a green back. Locally, people call this kind of lobster Xiaoqinglong. Because of its low price, it is very popular with foreign tourists.
King Crab
The king crabs in Da Nang are very big. Some king crabs look like 1 meter long with their legs. The way these king crabs crawl in the water is ridiculous, with their long crab legs dancing around like the claws of a large crane. Extra large king crabs cost about 1700K VND per kilogram in seafood food stalls in Da Nang. Slightly more expensive than lobster.
Geoduck
Geoduck is also called the emperor clam and the goddess clam. It is named after it looks like an elephant's trunk. It is a large shellfish of the clam genus. Its scientific name is the Pacific mud clam. It is a very long-lived shellfish, with a lifespan of up to 100 years.
The geoducks in the Da Nang seafood shop are very large and thick, which is a bit beyond my expectation. Although I knew that the largest elephant trunk clam in the world would have a length of 1 when it extends its "trunk" It's long, but it doesn't feel that big when it's retracted. I pointed it out with my elbow, and some of them were longer and thicker than my arms! The price is 1000K VND per kilogram. I had never seen such a huge and thick geoduck in China before, and I didn’t know if it would taste very bad, so I didn’t dare to try it.
Abalone
The abalone in Da Nang is also relatively large, some are as big as a fist. The price is about 1400K VND per kilogram.
Crabs
Ocean swimming crabs and stone crabs are also very common in seafood restaurants in Da Nang, and the prices are relatively affordable. The price of stone crabs is about 150K VND per kilogram.
Pingyu
The larger flatfish sells for 100K VND per kilogram in the night market, which is a relatively cheap variety. It's slightly more expensive in the hotel.
Conch
Conch costs about 100K VND per kilogram in the seafood market.
Prawns
Palm-long shrimps (green shrimps) are generally sold in night markets for 20,000 VND each, which is more than 6 RMB. Live bamboo shrimp are more expensive.
Squid
Fresh squid generally costs 80K VND per kilogram.
Trash fish
In Hanjiang Market, the seafood at the stalls is cheaper. In the evening, some seafood stalls will be set up on the street outside the market. We saw some locals selling fresh fish, shrimp and shellfish on the stalls. Some large fish are sold cut into pieces, and some are sold whole. The prices are slightly different depending on the species, ranging from 50K to 80K VND per kilogram. Much cheaper than a big hotel. People who buy seafood here are usually locals.
These seafood are pretty good and the price is reasonable. Vietnam has rich tourism resources and beautiful scenery. It would be good for everyone to try the seafood here once!
