The Sea Bug is wild-caught in Vietnam, like a "giant cockroach" of the ocean. At Ran Bien, the Sea Bug is meticulously selected, guaranteed top quality and 100% fresh and live, with a giant size of 2.2 – 2.6 kg each – a perfect highlight for a seafood feast with family or a business gathering.
Though spiky and hard on the outside, the flesh of the Sea Bug is compared by diners to premium seafood such as lobster and king crab.
The fresh Sea Bug holds a wonderful "nutrition store":
High collagen & protein: support skin-cell regeneration, firm muscle and boost endurance.
Low fat, low calorie: ideal for a healthy diet, helping keep in shape.
Essential minerals: calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron and iodine – strengthen the bones and joints, support the thyroid and immunity.
Antioxidants: natural glycosaminoglycans and polysaccharides help prevent ageing and improve blood circulation.
At Ran Bien Seafood Restaurant, the Sea Bug is prepared into delicious dishes:
Steamed: keeps the Sea Bug's flesh plump and richly buttery
Grilled with scallion oil: the skin lightly crisp, soaked in fragrant scallion oil, the flesh inside keeping its clean sweetness with a touch of gentle richness.
The rich flavour and full nutrition of the Sea Bug have been brought by Ran Bien into the city, so that every feast becomes a journey to discover the ocean right in the heart of Saigon.
