Located at the foot of Ham Ninh mountain, Ham Ninh fishing village not only has a wild beauty and serene atmosphere, but it also supplies a rich amount of seafood, notably sentinel crabs, for both Phu Quoc city and neighboring provinces.
Ham Ninh sentinel crabs lurk in corals or burrow in the sand on the seafloor between 10 and 20 meters deep. Despite their small size, Ham Ninh sentinel crabs feature firm flesh and a delectably fresh flavor.
