Chau Doc Market
A covered riverside market in the Mekong Delta, known as the region's largest trading hub for fermented fish and dried seafood.
Chau Doc Market is on Bach Dang Street in Chau Phu A Ward, beside the Chau Doc River, about two kilometres from the city centre. It is described as the largest trading hub for fermented fish products and dried seafood in the Mekong Delta, with stalls such as Ba Giao Khoe, Ba Giao Thao and Hai Xuyen. It is also a place to try palmyra palm cakes and drinks from the nearby Bay Nui area.
Food to look for includes bun mam (noodles with fermented fish paste), mi Quang, hu tieu kho, banh bo and other traditional cakes, grilled banana in sticky rice and banh mi. Traders start early and locals shop between about 6 and 8 am, so go in the morning. Opening hours were not verified, and coordinates are approximate.
