The “long-legged” specialty in Kien Giang is likened to a tonic, so the price of 12$ / kg is still very attractive

Despite its unattractive appearance, ca Xiu, a specialty in Kien Giang, is still an ingredient that many people buy and enjoy.

  • As a place with a convenient location adjacent to the sea, the cuisine of Ha Tien and Kien Giang is very rich with many famous seafood. In particular, Ca Xiu is a name that makes many people curious and interested from the first time they hear it. This is also the type of seafood that people here proudly show off to diners and friends from far away whenever they visit this land.
  • Ca Xiu is a mollusk with green skin, and soft and sweet flesh. They live in rivers, estuaries, and brackish water, so they have long legs exposed to easily find food. According to local people, Ca Xiu can be harvested all year round, usually lives buried in the mud and occurs a lot in Dong Ho lagoon, Ha Tien town.
The name is not beautiful, and the appearance of this animal is not very eye-catching. 
To describe briefly, the Ca Xiu has two pieces like chem copy but adds a long, confusing beard. 
However, coffee is likened to a “panacea”, because it has the effect of enhancing male vitality, so it becomes a favorite dish of “men”.
Currently, on the market, Ca Xiu is sold for 250,000 VND (12$)/kg. 
You don’t have to visit Kien Giang to buy coffee, but at many famous seafood stores, you can also buy and order to enjoy.
Some delicious dishes are made from tomato.
