Crowded SEA FOOD RESTAURANTS (from local news)
Please make a distinction when cut and pasting articles from VN websites.
Some of your food items are not seafood items.
The snails are from fresh water rivers.
The crabs are from mangrove tidal swamps.
Hmmm? I feel a bit uncomfortable with your comment.
Im not a master in this, im doing this cos i found it it good for expats. And i found ur point is really odd when i have to be so exact to our cuisine??! Seriously! Do u have any problems with me?
Those restaurants are small and very local, even they dont care to dinstince that small detail of differences
I love Oc, and the wife's family loves that I love them. (Cheaper to feed than most nguoi my). Thanks for the post. We'll hit one or two of those places our next visit.
Thanks for your sharing.
For Seafood restaurant, I like Bien Dong restaurant in dist 6. The food really catches my taste. I also like Lang Nuong Nam Bo.
Honestly none of the pic is my favorite, except the last one. I will try that tonight if there is no rain.
@ ngocanhnguyenthi: Jim is right. OC is not seafood and crab, squid are served so funny and also not good in oc restaurant. The quality is very different from a real seafood restaurant. I think you understand this.
I've never been there.....but that made me want to visit ~ yum yum
Oc is seafood in Vietnam. U can google for more information. And not only vietnam, france, italy, also philippines have sea snails. But i dont think this is the thing need to be discussed here, right?
ANw tks dejavu@, ur suggestions are good, but those are still be consider as "high class" sea food restaurants in vn.
For those i put here, they are all have much more cheaper price and mostly just local know them.
@ngoc anh nguyen thi
Nice post. 
As a foreigner and expat who loves sea food or fresh water food, this is a good thread that will help them know whats availble and where.
Thanks for posting
