A few minutes tram ride from Central Hong Kong, in the Western District the dried seafood traders are to be found. In my photos are all sorts of dried sea foods, some recognisable, others I have no idea what they might be!
These photos were taken during a visit to see my daughter who lives in Hong Kong.
Please note this post originally appeared on LindyLouMac's World in Photos but I am in the process of moving the themed posts to Travel Tales as I plan to change direction on the photography blog.
Wow - lots of interesting stuff! Thanks for showing us your photos.
ReplyDeleteLooks very interesting but you have to know what you are buying. Or maybe westerners don't buy. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI can just imagine how good it smells!
ReplyDeleteI remember viewing some of your Hong Kong photos before I travelled there in 2012 and was filled with anticipation and excitement. I can now enjoy them from a different perspective as they bring back such joyful memories.
ReplyDeleteThis was a place we missed when we were there, pity. Glad you have reposted it as I am sure I missed it first time round or my memory has gone. Take care Diane
ReplyDeleteit looks good and very pretty and i am wondering how it smells. with all that dried seafood i am thinking it might overwhelm my ultra sensitive nose.
ReplyDeleteI would never have dreamed that something like this existed! But maybe not the ice and refrigeration we take for granted? (I love to shop at fresh fish markets, on both our coasts, just never thought about the need for so much dried fish). As always, love how well you capture people! Wish I could do half as well.
ReplyDeleteI too Linda am curious to know what the smell was like.
