Step inside the fish market and you'll find it bustling with crowds - as busy as any Chinese wet market.

Many Chinese tour groups visit here and have group meals afterward using seafood purchased from the market (presumably at premium prices).

There's a wide variety of seafood available, though most Western customers tend to buy salmon and scallops. The king crabs are mainly purchased by well-heeled tourists from Chinese tour groups.

After purchasing your seafood, head to the dining area to enjoy your meal. Important reminder: protect your food from the seabirds - they're known to swoop in and steal your meal!
