With more than 192 km of coastline, Lam Dong sea area not only has beautiful beaches such as: Cam Binh, Ke Ga, Tien Thanh, Mui Ne, Phan Ri Cua, Binh Thanh, Phu Quy special zone... but also has many kinds of seafood such as: crab, anchovy, box fish, red snapper, grouper, snail, octopus... to meet the enjoyment needs of tourists...

1. I just arrived in Phan Ri Cua, an acquaintance took me to visit the marina, where there are many boats bringing fish, shrimp, clams, crabs... caught from the sea. On the other side of Hoa Phu bridge, fishermen gathered a large scallop bed, about several tons of scallops, with many women sitting to pry open the scallops. Phan Ri Cua is famous for its scallop sea. A large number of boats in the area specialize in diving to catch scallops to get the meat (the best part of the scallop) to supply to supermarkets, food processing companies, others to tourist attractions in the province and other provinces.

Ms. Nga, who buys scallops to supply the domestic market, said: Scallops are mostly found in the Lam Dong sea area, but the most delicious are scallops in the Phan Ri Cua sea area, which are caught by diving fishermen, so the meat is white, firm, large, sweet, and is often chosen by restaurants and tourist attractions to process and put on the menu... Mr. Tuan, a famous seafood restaurant on Hung Vuong Street, Phu Thuy Ward, said that his family often imports scallops, snails, razor clams, and sea beetles from Phan Ri Cua to sell because the meat is delicious and less sandy than other regions, so it is easy to process. Tourists really like grilled scallops with scallions and oil, nearly 100 groups of guests come to the seafood restaurant, the first dish is grilled scallops with scallions and oil. The grilled scallops with scallions and oil must be diving scallops, which the fishermen call flying scallops, some of which are as big as rice bowls. This type usually does not have sea sand stuck in the meat, so grilling it whole will give the meat a sweet flavor, fragrant onions, and fat, creating a harmonious taste for everyone...

2. It was just after 5 o'clock, the sky was still foggy but at Cam Binh beach there were already hundreds of tourists standing on the shore to watch fishermen net fish, catch crabs, snails. The small boats and sampans swam about 300 - 500 meters from shore, casting nets, looking like an illusion as they moved on the sea surface with rippling waves, creating a very beautiful scene. Every now and then, a few sampans pulled their nets to shore, the nets caught many different kinds of seafood with all kinds of herring, mackerel, scad... a few boxfish struggling when being brought ashore. When the nets were pulled ashore, it was also the time when tourists and small seafood traders in the markets gathered to choose fish, shrimp, snails, crabs...

Whoever likes something chooses it, many tourists see a live fish caught in the net and point it out, “I choose that one, weigh it and sell it to me”… Nearby is the next net being pulled up, this net has more crabs so people who like to eat crabs rush over to buy. The scene on the beach in the morning is as crowded as a festival.

Mr. Nguyen Thanh from Tay Ninh and his family traveled to Lam Dong beach and said: "Seafood is now sold everywhere, but the scene of seeing people fishing from the sea and then choosing their own fish, crabs, snails... is a very strange feeling." As for Mr. Dinh Hung traveling to La Gi: "My whole family loves coming here in the morning to see people fishing, the kids usually sleep in, but when they hear about going to Cam Binh beach in the morning, they are so excited to come along...". While speaking, Mr. Hung pointed to the kids who were choosing snails and crabs with their mother: "There, you see the mother and children bought all kinds of things and then went back to the hotel to have them boiled to eat, it's indescribably delicious....".

During the rainy season, a lot of water flows from rivers and streams to the sea, bringing food, so seafood gathers near the shore to hunt. From June to November, food flows from rivers and streams to the sea in abundance, so most seafood, from fish to crabs and snails, are plump and sweeter than in the dry season.

3. In Lam Dong sea area, there are many places selling fresh seafood. In addition to Mui Ne Fishing Village rock beach, Mui Ne market, Phan Thiet big market, tourists can buy crabs, live snails, swimming fish at some fresh seafood selling points located in Xuan Huong ward - Da Lat, ward 1 Bao Loc... There are many reasons why tourists come to Lam Dong sea area more and more and stay for a long time, one of which is that Lam Dong sea has many types of rich and quality seafood thanks to ocean currents and weather. High quality fresh seafood, combined with both rustic and high-class processing, creates a diverse and unique coastal cuisine such as: grilled scallops with scallions, lime snail salad, horn snail, roundabout fish curry, stone fish, hot pot, grouper hot pot, red snapper, mai fish salad, fried loach fish...
