Unlike other fishing village fish markets, Cam Binh seafood market is located close to the coast, inside the market is a bustling community tourist area.
Most of the people who come to the market are seafood traders from La Gi who gather in Cam Binh to get fish to bring to the big market.

Ms. Le Thi Tan, a tourist from Binh Phuoc who came to Cam Binh for a vacation, shared: “The seafood in Cam Binh is fresh, delicious and cheap. You can buy any kind you want. After buying, rent a charcoal stove and then your family can cook it on the spot or ask the locals to cook rustic dishes on the beach. In addition to the seafood processed on the spot, I also buy fresh crabs, snails, and shrimp as gifts for relatives…”.
The market only opens for about 3 hours in the morning. When the sun comes up, there are only people on the beach who specialize in preparing seafood dishes. They sit under umbrellas by the charcoal stove to welcome guests with culinary needs.

Mr. Le Van Hon - a fisherman in Cam Binh fishing village, and his wife sold a batch of mackerel for more than 500,000 VND and then pulled the basket boat to the beach together.
Mr. Hon shared: “Working as a net fisherman in a basket boat is very hard. Going all night and coming ashore in the morning, sometimes the products sold can only earn 500,000 - 700,000 VND. It is bearable in the calm wind season, but when the sea is rough, you have to stay home and wait, not having enough money to buy rice.
Since the seafood market opened on Cam Binh beach, fishermen have been very excited. The fish brought from the baskets to sell are fresh, so tourists find it attractive, and I am also happy...".
The most interesting thing about Cam Binh fishing village market is that there are many people selling seafood in pots, all pots are sold at the same price (depending on the season). Visitors can choose big or small pots as they like...
