Nguyen Trung, the owner of a grilled fish vendor in the area, said he had mobilized more than 25 workers to handle the surge in demand
“Although the cost of fish, vegetables, and other ingredients is higher this year, we have kept our prices unchanged from previous years,” Trung said. Prices range from VND200,000 to VND220,000 per fish, including vegetables, rice noodles, and dipping sauce.
