Boat trip to Halong Bay: Not so much a restaurant tip - but about food

On the trip to Ha Long Bay we had lunch included in the price of th eticket. However our bout pulled up alongside a moored pontoon which had nets holding fih which you could buy and get cooked on the tour boat to add to your lunch. I was chatting to some Vietnamese folks who did this and invited me to join them for their lunch. As you can see from the picture the spread was mouthwatering.

Favorite Dish: All of it.
We had fresh crab, steaks of fish (?), prawns, shrimps and shell fish to add to our squid salad and, spring rolls and rice.

Directions: On a tour boat in Ha Long Bay
