Nature seems to have favored Ham Ninh sea area with its mild, cool climate all year round. The rich ocean ecosystem creates an abundant food source, so the seafood here is very rich, diverse, and fresh, especially crabs. Because the sea area is located deep in the Gulf of Thailand, Ham Ninh is still pristine and has not been much affected by seafood tourism , so the marine environment here has nurtured the famous delicious crabs that make up the brand of this island.

Dishes made from Ham Ninh crab

Ham Ninh crabs usually live on the seabed about 10 - 20m deep, hiding in coral reefs or burying themselves under the sand. The crab's body is small but its meat is firm, very fragrant, with a rich, sweet, and delicious taste that cannot be found anywhere else. In August 2022, Ham Ninh crabs officially received collective trademark certification. This is a source of pride and motivation for the fishing villagers to strive to preserve and develop Ham Ninh crabs into a famous specialty of the Pearl Island.
