The best-known seafood market in former Vung Tau, with its “buy at the market, cook at the eatery” service
Rach Dua Market stands on Binh Gia Street, Rach Dua ward, Ho Chi Minh City (the former Vung Tau city area before the 2025 administrative merger). According to several local travel sites (Ghien Vung Tau, Xanh SM, Klook Blog), this is one of the best-known seafood markets in former Vung Tau, selling every kind of live seafood: shrimp, crab, swimming crab, squid, sea snails and saltwater fish. The feature noted by many sources is the on-the-spot cooking service: customers buy seafood at the market, then carry it to the nearby eateries and have it prepared to order for a small service fee — a model that is common in this area.
