Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the prices of king crabs in Vietnam have significantly dropped by up to 45%, with some selling as low as 1.4 million VND/kg, which is a 43% decrease from the standard price. High-end seafood stores are responding by offering free steaming and seafood sauce with purchases, and customers are buying in larger quantities. An incident involved a customer ordering 12 king crabs, each weighing around 3.5 kg, totaling nearly 60 million. This price drop has made king crabs more affordable for a wider range of customers, leading to a surge in sales.
