The village is home to about 40 households grilling fish for sales.

Hoang Van Tuan, a local says, many years ago he had to get up at 3 or 4 a.m to buy fresh fish from local beaches and seaports for grilling.
|
Nowadays, he says local villagers have built cold storages at home to store large quantities of fish.
|
A variety of fish species, including fesh mackerel and herring, are collected, cleaned and arranged in rows on grills before they are baked with charcoal.
|
Each batch of fish is grilled for 10-15 minutes
|
Nguyen Thi Mai, 58, says that each day local villagers grill between 100 and 300 kilograms of fish for sales.
|
"We have to wear thick clothes to cope with the searing heat from the oven and extreme hot weather in summer," MaI says.
|
She reveals that she hires some employees to be paid 250,000 VND (11 USD) per day each.
|
Once completed, the grilled fish are distributed to dealers in nearby neighbourhoods.
