In Vietnam, eels are distributed mainly in the provinces of the Central and South Central regions.

Some fishermen in the sea said, based on the characteristics and habits of life, they divided the eels into 2 types: river eels and sea eels.

– Sea food

Among them flower eel, turmeric eel, coconut eel. They live mainly in saltwater environments, on the seabed on coral reefs.

Sea eels have wide fins, are very strong, and have very sharp teeth. The meat is good but not as good as river eel.

– River eel

Lives mainly in rivers, streams, canals, water crevices in rocky mountains. The meat is delicious and has high nutritional value.

Ha Anh (29 years) – a small fish and seafood trader in Hanoi said: “Based on the delicacy of the meat and its nutritional value, the price of river eel is different. Usually river eel has a higher price than sea eel because of its superior taste.

Thus, sea eels cost around 210,000 – 280,000 VND/kg, while river eels order much more, from 480,000 to 530,000 VND/kg. In addition, my shop also sells eels for 3,500,000 – 4,000,000 VND/kg/200 head. That’s why it was judged that the seed eel is a fairly expensive species.”

Sea eels cost around 210,000 – 280,000 VND/kg, while river eels order more, from 480,000 to 530,000 VND/kg.

Despite being an expensive fish compared to other fish species, Ha Anh’s shop sold out every time she returned as many eels as she could, sometimes even selling out. He said: “My customers are mostly regulars with good economic conditions. They often tell me to call them before I have fish. So if the goods come out sold out immediately, visitors who want to buy fish are no longer available, they can only order first and wait for a whole month to get fish, then I call.”

From eel, housewives can process it into a series of delicious dishes such as grilled, boiled banana beans, boiled, fried with lemongrass and chili or cooked in a hot pot…

Mr Vu (35 years, Hanoi) said: “I have enjoyed many species of fish, from sea to river, but the most impressive was the eel. The fish was elongated, thought there was less meat, but it was amazing, and the meat was still tasty and oily .

After enjoying my friend’s house once, I sometimes ask my wife to swap food for the kids for a nutritious eel dish. Although a bit pricey, it’s worth the money. ”

Usually Mr. Vu and his wife will make sea eel into a grilled dish, which can be eaten directly with fish sauce or rolled in rice paper, raw vegetables and vermicelli.
