  • 12 JULY 2018 - SAMUT PRAKAN, SAMUT PRAKAN, THAILAND:  A man weights a bulk bag of seafood in the Pak Nam market in Sumut Prakan. Fish consumption recently hit a record high according to a report published this week by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. The FAO reported that global fish production peaked at about 171 million tonnes in 2016, 47 percent of it from fish farming. The FAO also reported that global fish consumption between 1961 and 2016 was rose nearly twice as fast as population growth. In 2015, fish accounted for about 17 percent of the animal protein consumed globally. This has ramifications for Thailand, which has one of the world’s largest fish and seafood industries. About 90% of Thailand’s seafood production is exported, which accounts for about 4% of Thailand’s exports.   PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 11 SEPTEMBER 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: Grilled prawns ready to be served at Lek and Rut Seafood stand in the Chinatown section of Bangkok. Lek and Rut Seafood was one of the first street stall restaurants in Bangkok and is more of a pop up restaurant than a street food stall. It has sit down service and full menus, but seating is on the street and sidewalk and food is prepared in portable cookers that are brought out to the street when the restaurant opens. Thailand in general, and Bangkok in particular, has a vibrant tradition of street food and eating on the run. In recent years, Bangkok's street food has become something of an international landmark and is being written about in glossy travel magazines and in the pages of the New York Times.

Ben Thanh Market is a large market in the downtown area of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam in District 1. The market is one of the earliest surviving structures in Saigon and one of the city's landmarks, popular with tourists seeking local handicrafts, textiles,ao dais (Vietnamese traditional dresses), and souvenirs, as well as local cuisine. The market developed from informal markets created by early 17th century street vendors gathering together near the Saigon River. The market was formally established by the French colonial powers in 1859. This market was destroyed by fire in 1870 and rebuilt to become Saigon's largest market. In 1912 the market was moved to a new building and called the New Ben Thanh Market to distinguish over its predecessor. The building was renovated in 1985.     PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 12 APRIL 2012 - HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM:  A dried shrimp and seafood vendor in Binh Tay Market. Binh Tay market is the largest market in Ho Chi Minh City and is the central market of Cholon. Cholon is the Chinese-influenced section of Ho Chi Minh City (former Saigon). It is the largest "Chinatown" in Vietnam. Cholon consists of the western half of District 5 as well as several adjoining neighborhoods in District 6. The Vietnamese name Cholon literally means "big" (lon) "market" (cho). Incorporated in 1879 as a city 11 km from central Saigon. By the 1930s, it had expanded to the city limit of Saigon. On April 27, 1931, French colonial authorities merged the two cities to form Saigon-Cholon. In 1956, "Cholon" was dropped from the name and the city became known as Saigon. During the Vietnam War (called the American War by the Vietnamese), soldiers and deserters from the United States Army maintained a thriving black market in Cholon, trading in various American and especially U.S Army-issue items.

The market is one of the earliest surviving structures in Saigon and one of the city's landmarks, popular with tourists seeking local handicrafts, textiles,ao dais (Vietnamese traditional dresses), and souvenirs, as well as local cuisine. The market developed from informal markets created by early 17th century street vendors gathering together near the Saigon River. The market was formally established by the French colonial powers in 1859. This market was destroyed by fire in 1870 and rebuilt to become Saigon's largest market. In 1912 the market was moved to a new building and called the New Ben Thanh Market to distinguish over its predecessor. The building was renovated in 1985.     PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
