How it works
At Phu Quoc's Dinh Cau Night Market and the nearby seafood restaurants along Tran Hung Dao Street, vendors display seafood at attractive per-piece or per-100g prices. After tourists have chosen their items and they are taken inside to be cooked, the bill reflects a different price per unit — often attributed to 'cooking weight loss' or a sudden shift to a per-kilo scale. The difference can double or triple the expected cost.
