Ms. Nguyen Thi Tai, owner of Tam Tai seafood processing and trading establishment in Nghi Thuy ward (Cua Lo town) said: "It is estimated that in just 2 months of Tet, we will supply the market with about 6,000 tons of various types of seafood, of which the most is mackerel. Currently, we are stepping up purchasing to stock up on Tet goods. Our establishment supplies to agents and processing establishments across the country." Photo: Thanh Phuc

Since early December, Tam Tai seafood processing and trading establishment has had to hire additional seasonal workers to make Tet products. Accordingly, in addition to 20 regular workers, the establishment has had to hire 25 more workers to work during Tet, mainly to package and make seafood spring rolls, mackerel patties, squid patties, etc. Photo: Thanh Phuc

During this period, fish grilling establishments in coastal villages are also constantly on fire. For example, at Khoa Hoa fish grilling establishment (Quynh Phuong ward, Hoang Mai town), the fire is constantly on, grilling 3-5 tons of fish/day. Photo: Thanh Phuc

“In the last 3 months of the year alone, fish sauce consumption increased 3 times compared to previous months. During this period, we are extracting fish sauce from wooden barrels to pack it into glass bottles and paper boxes according to customer needs,” said Mr. Le Van Quynh, owner of Hai Hoa wooden barrel fish sauce production facility (Nghi Hoa ward, Cua Lo town).

Fish sauce supplied to the Tet market is not only purchased by consumers for food processing but also used as gifts, so the quality requirements are also higher. Therefore, the finished fish sauce must ensure protein content, color, and flavor. Photo: Thanh Phuc
