Vietnam, a country bordering the South China Sea. As such, there are many people who make a living by engaging in fishing. People who run crayfish farms, which have a delicious taste and chewy texture. And people who make steamed fish using fresh anchovies caught that day using traditional methods. We visit the site where precious treasures from the sea are managed, processed, and even exported. The center of crayfish farms in Vietnam! Crayfish, a somewhat unfamiliar creature to us. They look similar to lobsters, so they are often confused, but lobsters are a type of sea squirt, and crayfish are a type of spiny lobster, so they are clearly different species. This crayfish is a luxury food ingredient that is much loved by Vietnamese people. There are people who work tirelessly to obtain this high-quality crayfish. It is said that the people of a village in Phu Yen, central Vietnam, are operating about 7,000 crayfish farms. From welcoming guests to the fish farm, to feeding and shipping. All of these tasks are organically connected, so they are said to be very busy. In addition, crayfish are expensive, so there is a high risk of them being stolen. That is why they have to live in a makeshift house right next to the fish farm and pay for their expenses. It is difficult to carefully manage crayfish, which have a high mortality rate, but they are happy that they can pass the work on to their children. Let’s meet them. Anchovy Village where residents work together Vietnam’s land stretches long along the coast, so various types of seafood are caught in large quantities. That is why there are many processed foods made from fish, such as dried fish, fish sauce, or steamed fish. In a village in Phu Yen, central Vietnam, they are said to be making dried anchovies. The villagers go to the beach early in the morning to purchase freshly caught fresh anchovies. Then, the first thing they have to do is clean the anchovies! The next task is to boil the anchovies in a pot with charcoal. Because of the heat from the open fire, sweat pours down like rain. After boiling the anchovies for a short time, they must be dried outdoors immediately. However, it rains intermittently. If the anchovies get even a little rain, they cannot be used as a product, so a war with the weather begins. When it rains, they collect the anchovies, and when the rain stops, they dry them again. The residents repeat the same movements, but they never lose their smiles. Let's meet the people who struggle to make high-quality dried anchovies. #ExtremeJob #TasteofVietnam! #Crayfish #AnchovyVillage #Vietnam #CrayfishFarm #PhuYen #BoilingAnchovies #DryingAnchovies
