Fresh Fish Market

While in KaoHsiung we took a few buses to a fresh fish market along the coast north of KaoHsiung.

Of course, the seafood is fresh because we're in the fisherman's port just behind this market, but I also think that because there are no middlemen, the prices are much cheaper than those in KaoHsiung, maybe 10 miles away.

We arrived there late in the day, and they were selling fish with a "Dutch Style" auction. In this style, the auctioneer starts at a high price and goes down incrementally. The first bidder wins. So you have to be faster than your fellow bidders but you don't want to be too fast and get too high of a price.

Tonnes of different kinds of seafood.

Belt fish

Cuttle fish

 Squid

Shrimp(they were still jumping, just to show off how fresh they were)

Big Fish too.
