A local wet market in the Cam Chau area west of Hoi An Ancient Town, busiest between 5 am and 8 am when vendors sell fresh seafood, meat, vegetables, and street snacks to the neighbourhood rather than tourists. The produce is bought directly from nearby farms and the fishing harbour, so the selection is seasonal and genuinely fresh. Most stalls wind down by mid-morning. Come early with small bills — the vendors here don't deal in card payments or tourist pricing.
