Market Friday : Large Seafood Market Tour

Hello everyone! Today I am going to share my routine seafood market shopping and tour pictures. My family and I visit this market every fortnight or so to stock up our fridge of fish and seafood products. We can't go there more often than that because it located far from my home. This will be my entry for this week's #marketfriday tag initiated by @dswigle.

These are some of the fish sold ranging from small fish like sardine to large varieties like red snappers.

The sellers try to keep the fish fresh by adding ice cube. Most of the fish in this market are fresh and caught in the morning of the same day because it is a famous fishing location.

When we select fish, we look at the eyes. I took this picture to show a comparison between a fresh fish and a fish that is not fresh. The one with normal looking eye is normal while the other fish which has red eyes is not fresh.

After making up out minds, we will place the selected fish in a basket given. Sometimes, the seller helps to do it for us while we watch. Then, they will weigh the fish and tell us how much it costs. We can also try to negotiate the price at this point. This seller knows us well and since we are his regular customers, he gives us a discounted price.

They also have more fish stocked in boxes at the bottom like this. They are usually the large fish that take up a lot of space if they are placed on top.

Here's a closer look of one of them.

This is another type of large fish.

By the way, this is a large box of ice which the sellers use. They don't just use them to keep the products fresh, but also use them when customers buy and add some ice to the box or bag they keep the bought products in.

This is trolley with multiple large packages of ice. The ice supplier supplies them to all the sellers.

This is another section of the shop where most products were crustaceans.

These are some stingrays.

Here's a better view of the crustaceans.

These are some fresh squids.

These are large cuttlefish. The black liquid is the ink they have.

These are different types of crabs and some prawns on the left.

Here are more squids and some crayfish.

Here's a better view of the crayfish. They look like little lobsters. I have never eaten them before.

This is the bill. We didn't buy any crustaceans this time but we got a few types of fish that may last for around one to two weeks.

Thank you for dropping by and reading my long post. I hope that you have a great day ahead! ♥♥♥
