On the morning of October 7, dozens of fishing boats of Cam Linh commune (Cam Xuyen district, Ha Tinh ) went out to sea about 3-6 nautical miles from shore to harvest razor clams. Each boat had 6-10 workers, using trawl nets or diving.
By noon of the same day, many ships and boats returned to shore with their holds filled with large sacks of razor clams. On shore, many people were waiting to help transport the goods to the gathering point, classify them, bag them, and ice them.
Fishermen hit hundreds of tons of "heavenly windfall", their hands were tired from picking and selling ( Video : Duong Nguyen).

This large amount of razor clams is bought by traders right on the spot and put on trucks to be transported to other provinces and cities for consumption.
According to some fishermen, in recent days, the sea has been calm and the weather has been favorable, so they have gone out to sea and caught a large amount of various types of clams.
In one morning, each boat catches from 700kg to 1.5 tons of razor clams, selling them to traders for 2,000-3,500 VND/kg. After deducting expenses, each worker earns 800,000 VND to 1 million VND/day.

Mr. Nguyen Van Ha, Vice Chairman of Cam Linh Commune People's Committee, said that in addition to dozens of local fishing boats, some fishing boats of fishermen in Cam Loc and Cam Nhuong communes (Cam Xuyen district) and Ky Xuan commune (Ky Anh district) also catch this type of seafood.
"In 2022, there are few storms, so clams can reproduce a lot. Fishermen have been exploiting clams since April, and in recent days, they have achieved a large yield. Local fishing boats have all exploited 200-300 tons per day. There has never been a year when fishermen have had a big catch of clams like this time," Mr. Ha informed.

Clams are a nutritious seafood, good for the body. Clams are now widely used in medicine, and are also an ingredient to prepare many diverse and attractive dishes such as stir-fried with onions, porridge, grilled with scallion oil, grilled with satay, stir-fried with garlic, etc.
