Apart from squid caught with bait and squid caught using jigs, there’s another type of squid familiar to coastal residents, known as “Muc Manh.” What exactly is “Muc Manh”? How is it priced and where can it be bought? Let’s explore together.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

What\u00a0<\/b>is “Muc Manh”?<\/b><\/h2>\n

“Muc Manh” refers to regular tube squids, named after a traditional fishing method. “Manh” or “Manh den” is a traditional fishing technique that has been used by coastal inhabitants for ages, and only performed near the shore.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With this fishing method, fishermen can catch a significant amount of fish and squid each night. However, this method is only effective on dark nights.<\/span><\/p>\n

Catching “Muc Manh”<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

As this is a mass-catching method without selection, the size of the squid isn’t uniform. The eyes of the squid and fish can burst due to intense light exposure, leading to a decrease in meat quality. Hence, this type of squid is typically sold to the general public and rarely found in restaurants.<\/span><\/p>\n

The advantage of “Muc Manh” is that it’s caught near the shore, making it incredibly fresh with a shiny, glistening skin. Moreover, it’s much cheaper than bait-caught squid. Therefore, it’s a product that squid aficionados might opt for since it’s both delicious and pocket friendly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Where can “Muc\u00a0Manh” be bought?<\/b><\/h2>\n

When fishermen return to shore, the squid is immediately sold to traders or supplied to seafood stores, supermarkets, and online markets.<\/span><\/p>\n
