For a long time, Tam Giang lagoon has not only fostered silt for the field to be more fertile, but also generously granted typical products to feed generations of people in the coastal areas. Scatophagus argus, the Golden rabbit fish, the Siganus canaloculatus, etc... are the specialties that the people who are far away from their countryside immediately remember when they have just been mentioned, as well as the tourists always show their admiration every time they are regaled with these specialties.

To get these specialties, since early morning, the coastal fishermen have to go fishing with the most rudimentary means and tools. To them, no matter how much the product may be, the important thing is to preserve the lagoon and the environment.
