Almost all the seafood in Hong Kong is sold live, and this was the perfect example of how the locals like it. Fishermen here display their catch of seafood from their boats in Sai Kung. After the haggling is done, a basket on a stick is thrust upwards for the customer to deposit his money in. The same basket is then loaded up with assorted sea creatures to start their journey to the dinner table.
Any extra fish is dried in salt and sun so that there is no wastage.
The smell of roast chestnuts filled the air and I couldn't stop eating the bag I bought until it was all gone. Anyone know what the black beads they use for roasting are?
I have never seen a suckling pig being roasted by hand at an outdoor BBQ site by the resevoir. Only in Hong Kong!
