Fish, shells and crustaceans (2)

So, Huangsha market is safe for the moment. Every day starting from the early hours of the morning, the fishing boats and container trucks roll in, bringing in the freshest fish, prawns, crabs and shellfish not just from all parts of China, but from all over the world.

From Norway, salmon arrives and there are specialist shops where the large fish are delicately and precisely cut into fillets and steaks that gourmet shoppers can buy home.

One of the first shops we visited had a huge display window where you could see the masters carving up the cuts while apprentices watched and learned the craft.

Further in, the market divides into areas where the chefs can shop according to the seafood categories.

The first area is dedicated to crustaceans of every sort. There are local farmed prawns, huge red prawns imported from the other side of the Pacific, flower prawns from the South China Sea, and pretty blue-clawed prawns that come from Thailand that are valued for their large heads full of coral.
