Moc Quan Seafood Nha Trang

This answers the question visitors ask most: where to eat seafood without buying it at the market yourself. Moc Quan at 74 Hong Bang in Tan Lap is a full-service seafood restaurant. You order from a menu instead of having it weighed and haggling over the kilo price.

The dishes it sells most are cheese-grilled oysters, grilled squid and grilled fish, done the local way. Because you order from a menu you know the bill in advance. Quite different from standing at a fresh-seafood counter with no idea how much the prawn you pointed at weighs.

The main reason to choose this over buying at the market is that you know the bill in advance: you order from a menu, nothing is weighed, nothing is haggled. At a live-tank counter it is the reverse. You point at a prawn without knowing what it weighs, and the total only appears at the end.

It is at 74 Hong Bang in Tan Lap, inland rather than on the Tran Phu strip, so it prices more kindly than a beachfront restaurant. Two or more people can order several dishes to share; one person struggles, because grilled seafood tends to arrive in large portions. We have not been able to verify the exact hours, so call ahead if you are going late.

Other seafood: Thanh Sương, Đầm market, and Hòn Rớ market to buy it raw.
