Huangsha Aquatic Product Trading Market is a sprawling indoor market in Guangzhou's Liwan District, known as one of the largest seafood markets in southern China. The market is a sensory overload: rows of tanks filled with live fish, prawns, crabs, lobsters, and exotic sea creatures, with vendors shouting prices and water splashing on the floors. Visitors can buy fresh seafood by the kilo, then take it to one of the adjacent restaurants that will cook it to order for a small fee. The market is especially lively in the early morning when fishermen bring in the day's catch. It's a favorite spot for locals and tourists alike to experience Guangzhou's food culture firsthand. The area around the market is gritty and industrial, but the seafood is top-quality and affordable compared to restaurants.
