Fish Sauce Factories
Local tours often stop in at one of the very pungent fish sauce factories along the river in Duong Dong Town. It's possible to visit without an organized tour, although not much English is spoken at the factories and without any commentary, you're just looking at a hot and stinky shed full of giant wooden vats. Try Khai Hoan in Hung Vuong Street ( 0297/384–8555) and Hung Thanh at Khu Pho 3 ( 0297/384–6124).
Airlines that fly out of Phu Quoc will not allow fish sauce aboard, but it is possible to buy it at the departure lounge and have it shipped home.
