1. Sandworm
The ancients classified the sea worm as one of the famous specialties of Quang Ninh. Sea worm can be used to replace MSG. If sea worm is used to cook dishes with broth such as pho, vermicelli... the broth will be especially sweet.

The price of sea worms is quite high. In fact, at some times, the price of 1kg of this “sea worm” is equivalent to a tael of gold. Sea worms can be processed into dishes when they are fresh or dried. Depending on the processing method, but with each dish, this ingredient comparable to gold will satisfy diners.
2. Bored
Clams continue to be a specialty from Quang Ninh, making many people crazy about its delicious and nutritious taste.
Clams are a type of seafood that look like clams but are larger and are only found in the waters of Quang Ninh because there is currently no place that can raise them.

The price of cockles is dozens of times higher than that of common clams (about 600,000-800,000 VND/kg). Cockles are considered to be highly nutritious, suitable for health improvement. Cockles can be processed into many different dishes such as cockle porridge, grilled cockles, cockle wine, but the most delicious and creating the specialty brand of Ha Long is cockle mixed vermicelli.
3. Dong Tao Chicken
Dong Tao chicken or Dong Cao chicken is a unique and very rare breed of chicken found only in Hung Yen. The outstanding feature of this breed of chicken is its ugly legs, big and rough legs, when fully grown it can weigh over 4.5kg and over 3.5kg.

The selling price of this type of chicken on the market is very expensive, about 1-1.5 million VND/kg.
4. Nine-spurred chicken
For a long time, this type of chicken has been known as a rare breed of chicken in Vietnam. According to legend, in the past, the 9-spur chicken was a product offered to the king and it is also associated with the legend of Son Tinh and Thuy Tinh. Nowadays, the best development of the 9-spur chicken is in Tan Son (Phu Tho). The price of the 9-spur chicken is many times higher than that of normal chickens.

During Tet, chicken prices can range from 600,000 to 1 million VND. However, apart from a few rare purebred nine-spur chickens, no one has successfully bred this breed of chicken. However, users still accept to buy crossbred chickens with 6, 7 or 8 spurs to worship their ancestors. For chickens with 5-6 spurs, the price ranges from 400,000-500,000 VND/kg. The 7-spur type costs 900,000-1 million VND/kg. If the chicken is offered to the king with 8 spurs, the price will be from 2-3 million VND/kg. The special type of chicken with 9 spurs costs up to 9,990,000 VND/pair.
5. Parrot fish
Anh Vu fish, also known as Tien Vua fish, is one of the most famous fish in Vietnam because of its rarity and deliciousness. This type of fish is very picky, only eats algae and lives in clear water, not omnivorous like many other types of fish, so many people think that they represent luxury.
Since ancient times, this fish has been given the title "Van Lang's number one fish" and is among the top products that must be paid as tribute, so it is not surprising that the Anh Vu fish has a very "huge" price.

Anh Vu fish is also a type of fish whose price is based on weight. Specifically, each Anh Vu fish weighing 2kg or less costs 1.4 million, and each fish weighing 5kg or more costs 1.6 million. If the value of Dong Tao chicken or nine-spur chicken lies in its legs, then the wide mouth, also known as the "pig snout" of Anh Vu fish is the part that costs the most money and effort for gourmets.
This fish is a river specialty, often found in the upper reaches of the Red River, Ky Cung River and Lam River systems (provinces of Yen Bai, Phu Tho, Hoa Binh, Lang Son, Nghe An)...
6. Pipefish
Because the fish's beak is very long and tubular and the mouth flares out like the mouth of a lime pot, fishermen named this fish "lime pot".
The pipefish, also known as Hai Long, spearfish, has bright red skin and a long, eel-like body but is not as slippery as an eel. Adults can reach a meter in length and weigh about 1kg. There is currently no consistent information about the origin of this fish species. However, the pipefish lives in the whirlpools where the Saigon River and Dong Nai River converge, which is also known as the “tea” water area because it has both saltwater, brackish water and fresh water. Currently, the amount of natural pipefish on the Nha Be River is scarce due to fishing activities by people.

The lime fish is a precious seafood specialty, sought after by gourmets at a price of 1 - 1.3 million VND. Due to overfishing, this type of fish has now become scarce. That is why the price is also increasing day by day. But the scarcer it is, the more people are willing to spend money to enjoy it.
