Although Southeast Asia's scenery is beautiful, you absolutely shouldn't miss the delicious Vietnamese seafood.
Many people have traveled to Southeast Asia, often described as 'eat, drink, and play,' and finding beautiful attractions at their destinations is a must. However, food is absolutely essential. Those familiar with Southeast Asian cuisine know that when in Vietnam, you absolutely must try the local seafood. Today, Little Xin will introduce you to why Vietnamese seafood is so appealing!
First, Vietnamese seafood has a unique flavor. Although Vietnamese cuisine isn’t as distinctive or renowned as Thai cuisine, its distinctive freshness and delicious taste really highlight the flavor of the seafood itself. Therefore, seafood dishes prepared using local cooking techniques are among the best in Southeast Asia.
Secondly, Vietnamese seafood is both high quality and affordable. Many travelers to Vietnam say that the seafood there tastes fresher and sweeter. This isn’t simply due to the ‘moon looks bigger in foreign lands’ mentality or psychological factors; it’s a genuine reflection of the quality of Vietnamese seafood. Firstly, Vietnam has many coastal areas, ensuring the freshness of the seafood. Secondly, Vietnam’s industry is underdeveloped, with minimal pollution, resulting in a better ocean environment and more tender seafood catches. As a result, people consistently praise Vietnamese seafood.
Furthermore, local prices are low, and seafood prices haven’t increased simply because of their quality; they are very affordable. Even at Hanoi’s street food stalls, a seafood feast doesn’t cost much. The phrase 'high quality and affordable' perfectly describes Vietnamese seafood. If that's the case, missing out on Vietnamese seafood would be a major regret!
Finally, Vietnamese seafood is incredibly diverse. For example, Ha Long Bay is a paradise for aquatic life, and valuable seafood is readily available there. According to a rough estimate by locals, there are over 100 species of fish in Ha Long Bay alone, along with dozens of crab species – a truly impressive variety. Most of this seafood is wild, making it tastier and more nutritious than farmed seafood.
