Every year, around these days, fishermen along the coast of Hoang Thanh and Hoang Truong communes, Hoang Hoa district, Thanh Hoa enter the herring fishing season. As dawn breaks, boats full of herring line up to the shore to remove the fish, in time to sell to traders, locals and tourists right on the long sandy beaches.
Every morning, at the coast of Hoang Thanh and Hoang Truong communes, Hoang Hoa district, Thanh Hoa province, many small boats and rafts come ashore. The boats are loaded with nets full of herrings.
Local fishermen say that herring live 5 to 10 nautical miles from shore, often swimming on the surface. Depending on the weather, fishermen will go out to sea from 3 to 4 am and return around 8 am the same day.
When the boat reaches shore, the boat owner will mobilize family members, dividing into groups of 4 to 6 people to collect fish.
When the boats returned, traders from various places had gathered on the shore waiting to buy the herring. After screening them with the naked eye, they would select the best fish to buy and then take them to retail.
In addition to selling to traders who buy in large quantities, if individual customers have demand, boat owners sell herring on the spot by weight.
According to fishermen, herring is in season this time, so it is very delicious and sells for a good price. After deducting fuel costs, labor costs and breakfast, each boat owner will make a profit of several hundred thousand to several million dong, depending on whether the day is a big or small catch.
Mr. Nguyen Van Ha in Hoang Thanh commune, Hoang Hoa district, Thanh Hoa said that herrings often move in schools to the shore to feed early in the morning, so if they catch the right fish, fishermen will have a big hit. However, herring fishing also depends a lot on the tide, weather and the experience of the fisherman.
Herring fishing does not require much investment, as long as the fishermen have experience, the yield is not small.
Although herring does not have as high an economic value as tuna, mackerel, and squid, the advantage is that it only requires a small-capacity boat and can be fished close to shore. Especially for fishermen who do not have much capital for offshore fishing trips, herring is a source of stable income for their families.
In addition to herring, this season, fishermen in Hoang Thanh and Hoang Truong communes, Hoang Hoa district, Thanh Hoa also have a big catch of sea shrimp (moi).
Sea shrimp also brings significant income to fishermen in Hoang Thanh and Hoang Truong communes, Hoang Hoa district, Thanh Hoa province.
