This is the place to get anything from fresh vegetables to meat, but mainly to buy live seafood. I enjoy the hussle and bussle of both the wet and dry markets. They're usually crowded with people meandering through the tight alleys, surounded by all sorts of produce, occasionally a fish or shrimp will jump out of the polystyrene or glass 'aquariums' and flop around on the floor in front of you. It is also not uncommon for rogue crabs to be scampering about on the floor. Some other things you can buy are tutles in any size, frogs, albalone, snails, meter long groupers, sea monkeys and the usual large assortment of fish. The sights, sounds and loud chinese bargaining and chattering in the background always make for a unique experiece :)
