This is the peak period of the jellyfish season, when local fishermen take advantage of the opportunity to increase their income. According to local fishermen, jellyfish often drift on the surface of the sea, making them easier to harvest than many other fishing activities. The jellyfish season in Thanh Hoa usually lasts from the first lunar month to around the third lunar month. Traders then move them to processing facilities where they are cleaned, the edible parts separated and prepared into various dishes such as jellyfish salad, mixed jellyfish salad or salted jellyfish. Thanks to strong demand, especially during the coastal tourism season, jellyfish have become a popular seafood product among visitors.
