Wednesday November 4 - Day 7

Every day I say “that was the best meal we’ve had this trip.” Today was no different. We went to Aberdeen, which is a fishing port on the other side of Hong Kong island. On the dock there is a big market filled with the day’s catch, most of which is still flopping around, ready to be eaten. Above the fish market is a hall of tables and a few open kitchens where women will prepare anything you want from the market. It’s straight out of one of those food travel shows where the host points at a fish, they kill it, and prepare it to your liking. The best part is that they cover the tables in plastic so you gorge with your hands, ripping flesh apart, and throwing the shells aside.
