Quảng Ninh

Quảng Ninh holds the great Hạ Long bay and a rich stretch of sea and islands, so its cooking leans towards live seafood and the rare specialities of that coast. Chả mực pounded by hand in Hạ Long, the prized sá sùng of Vân Đồn and the hill-raised gà đồi Tiên Yên are the dishes that made the name of đất mỏ (the coal-mining country) cooking.
