Located alongside Tran Phu Street, Duong Dong Market is purposely close to Duong Dong Port for a reason: this is where you can see fish boats after fish boats queue up to drop off their freshest catch of every seafood you can ever imagine, from shellfish, mackerel, eel, squid to barracuda. The fishermen will sell them to local vendors or interested customers, but mostly local vendors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><div class=\"su-youtube su-u-responsive-media-yes\"><iframe width=\"760\" height=\"440\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bnertsuuawY?\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media; picture-in-picture\" title=\"DONG DUONG MARKET\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Phu Quoc specifically and Vietnam generally, some markets only last for one or two days per month, but Duong Dong is a permanent fixture.

However, Duong Dong is more than that since Phu Quoc has so many other <a href=\"https:\/\/luxtraveldmc.com\/blog\/top-5-phu-quoc-shopping-places.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">famous things<\/a> to offer. We recommend that you head up to the dried goods section of the market to pick up some stuff with unique flavors you can\u2019t find anywhere else such as fish sauce, mushrooms, peppers, and cashew nuts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And like any other tourist spot, you can find stalls selling handicrafts and t-shirts (that probably having the line \u201cI love NY\u201d for no reason) and shorts with colorful and funny patterns.
