Xom Luoi Market is a spontaneous market of fishermen. The market is located near Bai Truoc park, right at the junction of Phan Boi Chau and Nguyen Cong Tru streets. When fishermen come back from the sea, they brought fresh seafood to the market and sold it to the locals and visitors.
In the beginning, there are only a few people who were boat owners gathered to sell the remaining seafood after terminating the restaurant. Gradually, many people rent a place to sell, and this place has become a fresh seafood market that is popular with many people.
Many exceptional kinds of seafood that have just been caught were sold here, so many homemakers are generous for the fresh materials. For the specialty species such as crabs, crabs, snails, mantis shrimp, squid, octopus, there is no better market than here. When you choose the seafood you like, you can give it to the owner to process on the spot.
Nowadays, Xom Luoi market has become a popular place for tourist who wants to try the freshest seafood. However, this market is still temporary. The most typical time of the market is around 4 – 5 pm when the boats return to the mainland after a day of fishing.
