Strolled to the famous fish market in the morning. It was... well, nothing too special. They have both fresh and frozen seafood. The best part is there's a shop selling alcohol and drinks nearby, so you can get drinks to go with your meal.

We arrived quite early but it was already busy. Apparently, lots of tour groups arrive after 11 AM.

Processing fee is 15 dollars per dish. The prices are quite reasonable - contrary to some people's claims about it being expensive or tourist traps. After checking several shops, we found the prices were consistent everywhere.
