All along the coast of Vietnam, cuttlefish are everywhere. Each region has special inks of different shapes and sizes. As a coastal province, Ha Long is no exception. However, unlike squid in other provinces like Nha Trang, which is famous for big squid, Ha Long squid is loved by people for its unforgettable rich flavor.

In fact, the waters of Quang Ninh have many types of squid: kislip squid, cuttlefish, pharaoh squid, yellow cuttlefish… They can be used to process many dishes such as dried squid, grilled, fried, but cuttlefish cake still is the most delicious.
The recipe for making squid ink requires skill and experience. From the first stages such as selecting squid, cutting offal to the final stages such as seasoning or frying, the processor must be very meticulous. The cakes after frying are golden in color, delicious and irresistible. Their spicy and salty taste is most noticeable when we eat them with sticky rice or Vietnamese pancakes.
In Ha Long City, near Bach Dang Theater, there is a whole street full of people specializing in making and selling squid rolls. Because of its increasing popularity, people named it “Squid Cake Street”
