Under the brilliant sun of Nghe An province, people are busy drying anchovies on large, sprawling nets. The work may seem simple, but it requires meticulousness and quick reflexes to ensure the fish dry evenly. The salty sea air and the smell of drying fish blend together, creating the distinctive aroma of this traditional craft village. Each batch of dried fish is the result of countless drops of sweat and the main source of income for many coastal families.
