“Squid fishing is different from fishing.  when you go fishing, you have to be quiet, patient, and with squid fishing, you always have to” rouse “the fishing rod for the prey to” dance “to let the squid bite the bait,” Hoang said.

Visitors will also enjoy the fresh and delicious squid caught by themselves right on the boat. Under the processing support of the owners’s boats, the squid is fat, fragrant and has a salty taste of the sea that makes everyone crave.

Whether it is steamed, grilled or boiled, the squid dish still brings an indescribable attraction, if you drink a little beer, it is a perfect night. Meeting this demand of customers, many boat owners are equipped with ovens, stoves … for visitors right on the boat. In addition, visitors can ask owners’s boat to preserve fresh squid in ice boxes to bring them to the mainland.
