Taste

Firm meat, dipped in muối tiêu chanh. Also fragrant and aromatic, dipped in lime and pepper sauce. The smaller crab has more flavour.

How to enjoy it

Eat it boiled, in the fishing village, with the sea wind. The crab is there almost all year.

Other island kitchens serve it too, but Hàm Ninh is the shore for it.

Where to try it

Làng chài Hàm Ninh, about 20 km northeast of Dương Đông.
