Seafood souvenirs from Ban Krood

The best souvenirs from Ban Krood are its seafood products, which are absolutely fresh and chemical-free, e.g. crabs, squids, all kinds of fish such as short-bodied mackerel, Spanish mackerel, etc. The fish and other harvests from the sea are variedly available according to the seasons and lunar days. (Fishermen do not usually go fishing on waxing moon nights for they cannot locate fish well in the moonlight. On the contrary, crabs can hardly be found on waning moon nights.)  Apart from the fresh seafood, you can also buy a variety of processed seafood, such as shrimp paste, dried squids, flavored squids, salted fish, fish that are sun-dried for one day, and others.
