More glorious produce, carrots are from China
Fish cakes for restaurants or big families
And plenty of shoppers
We also visited the meat market with fresh pigs trotters No flies and the place smelled fine.
ox tail anyone?
or how about pig hearts?
Poultry?
Fish?
Jumbo squid
and prawns. We got an education on how to choose really fresh seafood, shiny clear eyes, firm texture, red healthy looking gills, transparency for crustaceans.
We were there about 10 AM and the market had been going since 6 but it wasn't smelly at all. The guide did say the flesh gets sold pretty much by 11, so we were seeing it towards the end

Amazing displays! The cooks there must know a much greater variety of recipes than in the West. All those diverse raw ingredients - wow!
ReplyDeleteOne thing we noticed at the markets and on menus is how well they use up the ENTIRE animal - they throw nothing away. Chicken feet anyone? The markets just amazed me, too and wonderful pictures here of them.
