Seafood markets in Hong Kong are fun places to poke around and check out all matters of swimming critters: Fish, crabs, lobsters, shell fish, sea cucumbers, eels... and unlike the Goldfish market in Mongkok the fate of these creatures is not a lucky one, as they are bound to end up, not in someone's pet fish-tank but in somebody's dinner plate.
You find seafood and fish markets everywhere in Hong Kong specially around the coastal areas and the islands. These pictures are from our visit at the market in Tai O Fishing Village:
All kinds of swimming things...
In all kinds of containers, from coolers...
To buckets...
There are live crabs...
Prawns and shrimp...
Langoustines or crab or some type of shellfish...
Fish of all kinds...
...All kinds of swimming things
Fish put out to dry...
...and many more kinds of dried goods...
Other places to look are the Seafood Restaurants that have the large tanks full of their live swimming offerings from which you pick your meal and it is cooked to order. It doesn't get any fresher than that...
