Cau Tre
Description
Cau Tre is a fresh seafood spot near Cua Dai beach, part of a row of four large seafood restaurants that all compete for the same crowd. It suits groups and families – the tanks are stocked with live fish and squid, and the menu stretches to clam porridge and seafood rice that kids can handle easily. Locals treat it as a regular haunt rather than a one-off tourist stop.
Order the steamed clams, grilled snails and mussels with scallions and butter, mango and prawn salad, bamboo spring rolls, fried squid, or the seafood and egg fried rice with garlic shrimp. Steamed grouper is a solid pick too. Market-priced tank seafood runs higher and needs careful ordering since board prices and menu prices don’t always match, so confirm the price before you commit to anything priced by weight. Evenings, especially Sundays, get busy across the whole row.
This is a step below the fancier spot next door in plating and technique, so go here for volume, freshness, and price rather than refinement. Service can lag when the restaurant fills up, with slow food and staff slow to notice a raised hand, so build in extra time or come earlier before the dinner rush hits.
