Live from Zhuhai… The Saturday morning market trip

Saturday, New Years Eve required a trip to the local village market to get some fish and stuff. This is not your Whole Food or Kroger it is just the big local market that runs 365 days a year. To get to it you need to know what ally to go down as it is in the courtyard between a bunch of buildings.

Entering from a small alleyway

The area around the outside is for the fish guys because of all the water mess. When you find the fish that speaks to you you pick it out.

Pick’en the fish

There are many to chose from. Sometimes you choose more than one.

Taking the one on the right

Meanwhile the chicken area was not getting much action.

Our chosen fish meets its end.

Around the edge is this guy and I have no idea what his purpose is.

come here kid let me scare the crap out of you

Our fish is still being prepared to take home and the chicken area’s business has picked up a little.

Meanwhile the cleaning guy is working on somebody’s squid selection.

This turtle was trying its best to escape as it figured out it was headed for a big soup dinner.

Then it was time to pick out the big 5lb fish we would have for lunch that day.

Have the guy cut it up and prep it.

We didn’t need any vegetables or meat products so we left.

As I post this on Sunday morning apparently we need to go back to the market again. Maybe there will be breaking news when I get back.
