Specialty of young crocodile is unexpectedly cheap, Hanoi sisters take advantage of hunting to buy

Young crocodiles start in season, but the price of this specialty is suddenly super cheap, making housewives take advantage of shopping online.
In the last 1-2 weeks, Hanoi’s young crocodile specialty has been sold a lot on the “web market”. Every year, because it only appears for a short time, young crocodiles are rare and quite expensive, many people with money can’t even buy them in time. But this year the price of this item is different.

Ms. Duyen, a small trader in Ha Dong market, said that normally she sells vegetables of all kinds. About a week ago, she started importing young crocodiles: “ Young crocodiles have been around for about a dozen days now, but the number is still small because it is just the beginning of the season. Every day, I can only get 5-7kg to sell at best and usually sell out in just a moment “. Young crocodiles for sale on personal Facebook.

According to Ms. Hoa, young crocodiles at the beginning of the season are often bought by many housewives, even though they have a bitter and acrid taste. Surprisingly, this year’s early season crocodiles are not as high as last year. Ms. Hoa shared: “ Last year, at the beginning of the season, I sold young crocodiles for 60,000-70,000 VND/kg. However, this year, the price of crocodiles dropped much, only 40,000 VND/kg. If you buy 2kg, the price is 75,000 VND “. Crocodile at the beginning of this year is cheaper than last year, only 40,000 VND/kg. (Photo: Facebook) Ms. H. Lan (in Hai Ba Trung, Hanoi) has just bought 2kg of crocodile at the beginning of the season, revealing: My family likes to eat young crocodile because the seeds are very soft. In addition to cooking sour soup, boiled vegetables, young crocodiles are also very delicious with sugar or fish sauce. This year, young crocodiles at the beginning of the season are much cheaper than every year. I think it may be due to the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic “. Not only sold at the market, young crocodiles are also overflowing the “network market”. Trang, an online seller in Hanoi, said that for about a week now, she has sold nearly 10kg of young crocodiles every day. There were days when customers asked to buy more, but she could not get much to sell. Crocodile pickled with garlic and chili sauce is also quite attractive.

The price of the main crop will also be much cheaper, only about 20,000 VND/kg, possibly even lower. Not only selling fresh crocodiles, Trang also made young crocodiles soaked in chili garlic sauce and sold them for 85,000 VND / 1kg jar. Crocodile is packed in clean jars, stored in the refrigerator, can be eaten for 1 month. Many small businesses also receive packaging, vacuum if customers request.
