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;\">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. Coming here, you will have the chance to see the fantastically hectic market and everyday life of a Vietnamese fisherman, to take photos from a great vantage point and buy some unique and interesting souvenirs that you can find nowhere else on this planet!<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_88 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/luxtraveldmc.com\/blog\/phu-quoc-night-market.html\/#I_Best_time_to_arrive_at_Duong_Dong_market\" >I.

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. And like any other tourist spot, you can find stalls selling handicrafts and t-shirts (that probably have the line \u201cI love NY\u201d for no reason) and shorts with colorful and funny patterns. Here is a list that we think you might need when entering this huge, wet and famous market.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IV_Recommended_souvenirs_to_buy\"><\/span>IV.
