The market's main customer flow concentrates at Nicolas's and Peter's near the entrance. Since we arrived quite late, close to closing time (the fish market generally closes around 3 PM and doesn't open at night), there weren't many people left. You can dine either indoors or outside at the fish market, but watch out for seagulls trying to steal your food if you sit outside~

We randomly chose a stall and ordered two lobsters with different flavors and a mixed squid platter with various seasonings. We considered ordering oysters, but since I can't eat raw food and Mr. Qiu couldn't finish a dozen by himself, we decided against it. For those who love oysters, I'd recommend trying them here - they looked really good~

TIP: Many vendors in the market now accept Alipay/WeChat Pay - we paid for our meal using Alipay.
