They’ve got every fishy food you could possibly desire from the fish with fins to the shelled goodies and even the fermented skate, or honga, that takes some time getting used to. Vendors yell back and forth trying to get attention to sell as much as they possibly can, but don’t let that deter you. Step confidently toward the seafood that you’re interested in and ask the price acting as if you know what you’re doing. They’ll adeptly and swiftly scoop the live fish, eel, or other delicacy out of the tanks and into a waiting basket before you know it. Don’t be pressured into buying once they’ve done this though. Buy what you want, as much as you want, and enjoy. Very delicious and fun stop for a meal.
