The Indonesian people in general, especially the people of Aceh, are people who like to eat fresh fish, almost all corners of the Acehnese people make fish as a staple which is made as a side dish for lunch, morning and evening, this has been implemented before the Aceh region entered the region Republic of Indonesia.

• The Aceh region has an area almost completely close to the coast or sea.
• Most of the people work as fishermen.
• Many have fishing gear such as boats or fishing vessels in the sea or in rivers.

So some of these factors are very easy for the people of Aceh to get fish, which is obtained from fishermen or obtained by buying at traditional markets in Aceh.

Nearly 75% of the people of Aceh have traditional fishing gear, such as,

• Large wooden ships or said in the language of Aceh Boat Langga, which operates in the open seas to the sea borders of Thailand, Malaysia, and other neighboring countries.
• Traditional wooden boats or in Acehnese are called Jaloe Bruek, the area of ​​operation is in the saltwater river mouth area, or on the coast.
• Having a variety of fishing gear both fish in the ocean or in freshwater lakes, such as trawl, nets, large hooks, nets (Bubee) and other fishing gear. While the area of ​​operation is still within the scope of the sea and river.

As you have seen in the picture in this post, the object in this picture, is said to be a fishing gear or as a means of transportation in the collection of fish in the high seas. Local people named Boat Langga whose operational area on the high seas extends to the borders of neighboring countries as described above. Langga Boat can dispute fish with its tools in two or three days for hundreds of tons. This work takes 2 or 3 days, and it takes longer to get fresh fish, sometimes up to one week in the open sea.

As mentioned above it is very easy for the people to get fresh fish in the open sea because the people have good fishing gear, the number of fleets or Boat Langga in the Lhokseumawe Aceh Indonesia City area reaches up to hundreds of fruit, not to mention the small boats that its function is almost equal to that of the ship.

So if it is calculated, it is really rough, the people of Lhokseumawe City have a total fishing fleet of one thousand. Not to mention other regions included in the Nanggroë Aceh Darussalam region.
