At the moment of dawn, as the first glimmering rays of sunlight start to shining the ground, the Binh Minh fish market in the namesake commune, Thang Binh District, Quang Nam Province turns crowded with large crowds of seafood sellers and buyers.

Over the past 15 years, the Binh Minh coastal village, which was called the ‘village of widows’ following many male fishermen unfortunately lost their lives during Chanchu Storm in 2006, has recorded an impressive vitality and joy.

At the Binh Minh fish market, there are many people who make a living from carrying fish for 10,000 VND / trip. On average, they earn 50,000 - 100,000 VND / session.

At 6:00am when the sun rises, the fish market turns thinly scattered as traders have left for traditional markets. Here is a truck ready for transporting seafood to markets for sale.
