The land of Quy Nhon (Binh Dinh) fascinates people with the scenery of the blue sea, white clouds and unique specialties, not mixed with anywhere. Not all visitors have the opportunity to admire, enjoy sea beetle, ninja fish, ... or buy mollusks as gifts.
Sea beetle
The beetles have the same family name as the shrimp, and each one is round and overlapping with a glossy brown armor. This species has a body similar to the enlarged one, in addition to two dense rows of legs and sharp claws.

Seagrasses are only seasonal, the catch is not much, so the selling price depends on the time. Typically, the month of March - April is the most calendar, prices fluctuate around 1.700.000d - 1.800.000d / kg. At the end of the season, even if the price is up to VND 2,000,000 - VND 2,500,000 / kg, it is not available for purchase.
Many fishermen assert, talking about the deliciousness of the sea beetle meat, even lobster - which is called "king of seafood" - is a few inferior. To preserve the taste of rare specialties, coastal people only process sea beetles simply by steaming, boiling or baking methods. If you use other ingredients, the seaweed will lose its original flavor.

After diners choose the sea beetle that they like, the chef immediately takes them for processing. Spices dot seaweed is also simple, just a little salt chili served with laksa leaves.
King crab
Emperor crab is one of the famous seafood specialties of Binh Dinh - Quy Nhon area and is recognized by fishermen as the king of crabs.
The king crab is most abundant in the spring (between December and March of the lunar calendar). They are pink-pink, square apricot, fork and short rod. In particular, the head is long and has lots of antennae, very firm meat and high protein.

Legend has it that once upon a time, when the King traveled in the seas, he saw fishermen catching strange crabs, shaped like sea turtles, curious to try. Seeing delicious, nutritious crab meat, the king requested that this species be sacrificed to the imperial palace. Since then, this species is called the king crab, called the camp to be the emperor.
King crab can make many dishes, but the most special one is steaming and porridge cooking. When enjoying steamed crabs, diners will dip with salt and green pepper. When cooking porridge, the king crab porridge will be very attractive with some yellow onion fat above, mixed with pink brick water and white flesh, dotted with green coriander stems.

I saw it with my own eyes that the shape of the ninja fish looks abnormal. Slippery skin like eel, 4cm in diameter, about the length of two gloves, black back. Not only that, the head of the fish has a short mustache, the tail ends abruptly, blocking like a seal. At a glance, people do not see anything eyes and nose because it is too small.
Regarding the name of the Ninja fish, the fisherman explained, it is because it appears in the water. In addition, the black skin covered from head to tail makes the fish look like the black-clothed ninja in the movie.

The fish live in the bottom and are caught by fishing or fishing. The unique and rare taste should make the price per kilogram of ninja fish can be up to more than 400,000 VND, so it is very difficult to find fish in markets but only in restaurants specializing in exotic seafood.
Evil fish
Evil ghost is a kind of ganh fish, lying under the sun, close to the ganh, not in the sea like many other fish. The evil fish has scales, and they are flat, the middle bone is very hard, shaped like a freshwater tilapia but bigger.
There are two types of fish, one is plain, one is chewy, but all are delicious. According to the fishermen, the fish name sounds very strange because it is very clever, hiding as fast as the devil, it is very difficult to catch the fish.

At restaurants and bars in Quy Nhon, the evil fish is processed into grilled dishes, hot pot, porridge and soup with the price from 150-200 thousand VND / kg. Evil fish must eat seasonally. To suit the taste, winter use grilled dishes; and in the hot summer, chives, sour soup or hotpot, porridge are cooked. The fish meat is white, not fishy, especially the breast is considered the best place because it has a very unique fat.
