Ghe hap (Steamed flower crab)

Post on : 07 August, 2025

Phu Quoc is famous for its fresh flower crab, or "ghe", steamed simply to preserve its natural sweetness. This dish is best enjoyed with a salt, pepper, and lime dip.

Caught fresh daily from local waters, flower crabs are known for their soft, sweet, and flavorful meat.

Steaming is the preferred method to keep the meat juicy and the shell easy to crack. Locals often dip the crab in a special lime-salt-pepper mix.

Whether eaten solo or shared among friends, steamed flower crab is a must-try seafood experience in Phu Quoc.
