Wowza! So many lobsters there. Imagine if they got to the size of ours here in Tassie haha!

[@Andrew_Fraser]

Haha, I don't think there is anything quite like those Tassie lobsters mate. Crazy to see the difference. After you see the work these blokes put in for a 500g specimen, it makes me appreciate what you have going on down there even more.

Thanks man. Great to have you onboard.

[@Corona142]

Great video, I was on some farms not far from these back in 2018. Some of my wife's relatives live in Tu Bong and one of them has a lobster farm. Unfortunately a few months before we visited they lost all their stock in a typhoon. We still got to sample some lobsters from a neighbouring farm while chiliing out on their farm.

[@blimolhm2790]

the amount of work doing any sort of farming is insane. No wonder even the Chinese stopped doing it and now import most of their seafoods from Vietnam and Indonesia.

Some kind of tropical lobster lol. I would imagine if you are doing a whole show basically about these lobsters in this fishing village you might do a tiny bit of research on what type of lobster they are farming. I noticed this with another video also . It appears to be Spiny Lobster.

[@arturoperez4062]

Andrew, great video! Thank you for sharing about other countries and how they use fish farms to keep our oceans healthy.

[@umumclean8161]

Intense and dense caged marine farming like that doesn't keep the oceans healthy. Go and do some research and you will find it is exactly the opposite. Farmed Salmon in Norway, Canada and Tasmainia (Australia) are good examples to start. This guy "Andrew" is telling you lies.

[@cuntucky]

@@umumclean8161 seems like a much better option than overfishing our oceans to meet human demand, but nothings ever enough with you people, is it? How about you provide your research resources (credible resources made by legitimate scholars and scientists, not just some hippie with a blog) instead of telling everyone to google your nonsensical rambling?

[@user-ef1fd3jb2v]

You haven't had real good lobster until you've had Maine Lobster

[@Andrew_Fraser]

One day for sure

[@msbrownbeast]

If the lobsters are farmed in Vietnam, does that mean that they are now cheaper to buy? What's more popular in Vietnam? Atlantic (Maine) lobsters or Spiny lobsters? And the price difference?

[@nickpatterson7048]

You are showing the mature lobster being harvested, what happens before that?

[@markinno]

how are the being raised?

[@bryanwieczorek6231]

Will you ship to USA live? Bryan 😊

[@Trust_but_Verify]

How much is the lobster dish there? About 1.25 lb?

[@tadcotadco6344]

by $35 per kg you can buy lobsters in Paris or Milan's best supermarkets. If you want to eat really cheap seafood, you have to go Oman. But, frankly saying, I don't think that lobsters' price is so high in Vietnam. Otherwise it would be unaffordable for locals, but we see that they are actively buy in the street market

[@MrEagleeye58]

USD$35/kg is "standard price" from farm.. Good price... normally its around USD$10 per kg for "family". But you still got a good deal for live lobster. AUssie lobsters used to cost USD$200/kg

[@blessedbeauty2293]

- 7:16 lobsters can eat old dead fish. They eat that in the wild along with live food. They will eat w.e they can, it will not kill them.

I’ve been to both countries and I can assure you that the lobsters in Danang are the largest I’ve ever seen. Even Panama and Pattaya have larger than Tasmania. Sorry to disappoint you.

I live in Hoi An / Da Nang. Large lobster here are imported. Cold water lobster species simply grow bigger than the species that live in hot water locations you mention. Science 🧬

$35 / kg? That's equivalent to 2-3 days of income for most of the Vietnamese country folks. To give away one 😃

How are these Lobsters compare to Boston's Lobsters in taste and price??

[@Andrew_Fraser]

I have never tried a Boston lobster. One day, I'll let you know.

[@PhongNguyen-df9bt]

I don’t know about Boston lobster but if they get their lobster from Maine then Maine lobster would definitely beat Vietnam lobster in taste but not in prices. $46 per kilo for Maine lobster, $35 per kilo on this video ( he got the foreigners price). Usually is around $20-$27 per kilo in Vietnam.

[@TheLilKon]

This leads me to a question, in a country like Vietnam where Banh Mi is so famous and places that farm lobster like this.....DO lobster rolls exist in Vietnam? Are there lobster banh mi sales people somewhere
