Shrimp catching tools only need a small mesh net of about 1-1.5mm to freely pull shrimp. More professional people will run boats to pull shrimp nets to have a larger yield.

Mr. Nguyen Van Khuong, a resident of Duong Dong ward, Phu Quoc city (Kien Giang province) said that this year's shrimp season, he and his friends in the neighborhood went to the beach to catch shrimp to eat and treat tourists at his homestay.

The boatmen who pull nets to catch shrimp earn several hundred kilos of shrimp each day.

“Shrimp can be used to make many dishes such as fried shrimp, stir-fried shrimp with sour star fruit and served with shrimp crackers, dried shrimp braised with pork rinds, shrimp rolls, sour shrimp paste to dip boiled meat... Every dish is delicious,” said Mr. Nguyen Van Khuong.

Shrimp is also prey that many schools of fish chase near the coast, so shrimp catchers sometimes have a double harvest when they catch both shrimp and fish...

Dried shrimp (sea shrimp, shaped like freshwater shrimp) is sold for about 80,000-90,000 VND/kg on Phu Quoc Island, Kien Giang Province.
