TL;DR
Fruit in Da Nang is available at local markets and street vendors. The dedicated fruit market has the lowest prices but can be chaotic. Mango runs 35,000–45,000 VND/kg, mangosteen 50,000–120,000 VND/kg.
Besides markets, fruit can sometimes be bought from smoothie stalls. It is not the most obvious or convenient option, but it is another possible source.
