Squid jump Vung Ang According to the owners of floating rafts, they are currently buying from squid fishermen for 600 to 700,000 VND / kg, but they do not have to buy. Meanwhile, the jumping squid business also encounters certain risks. “The survival rate of the squid that jumps from the sea is about 70%. For example, 10 squid, only about 7 live, 3 will die, not all of them will live well. Ink is sensitive to water, so it is easy to die. On days when the sea does not have much waves, the squid will live well. When the tide goes up and down, water flows into the cages, the squid will die a lot, ”added Thanh Nhan restaurant owner. According to the squid traders, Vung Ang sea has a higher salinity, so the squid will taste better and have a unique taste compared to other seas. “Fresh squid is the best, but is out of stock, so we will replace the squid with frozen fresh squid, sell more fish, crabs … to serve tourists coming to this sea,” said a raft owner.
