Locals cash in on poisoned dead fish
People in Ha Tinh and Quang Binh provinces are flocking to the sea to collect dead fish for traders to earn huge profits despite severe warnings about potential food poisoning.
Dozens of boats are out at sea searching for half-dead fish. Those who can't go to the sea pick up the dead fish that are washed ashore. Fish that just died recently are sold at VND50,000 (USD2.3) per kilo while rotting fish are still worth VND20,000. Some people are able to earn up to VND1m a day.
The locals claim they don’t know why the traders buy the dead fish. But as they can earn money, they are willing to ignore the advice from local authorities that people must not buy or eat dead fish because of food poisoning. |

I think this is important for anyone who lives in Vietnam to know. Who knows in what cities these fish end up. |
