Sai Kung Park — Attraction in Hong Kong

The Promenade is hive of activity in Sai Kung with some interesting things to see (and taste). In addition to the large Cantonese seafood restaurants and a couple of bars, you will find sampan boat for private hire as well as boat service to area islands and beaches.

Most interestingly, however, the promenade is the scene of a floating seafood market that is quite unique to see. Here you will find quite a few boats mooring along the promenade offering a wide variety of fresh seafood which they sell direct to the customers lingering above on the piers.

It is a very interesting scene to witness. Fisherman negotiate directly with the crowd, When deals are made, boaters descale and fillet fresh fish right on the boat or bag the fish whole depending on what customers desire. Lots of shellfish and exotic seafood like octopi and starfish available as well.

From their moored boats, fisherman send the seafood purchases up in nets to the customers waiting upon the piers. Payment is are then sent down in the same nets. It is sensible yet interesting way of conducting transactions. You almost want to buy something just to try.
