From Flying Cow Ranch, Miaoli, we headed towards Wuqi Fishing Harbour. It is on the way toward Taichung. About less than an hour away from the Taichung central. If you have private transport, please come here. The seafood is so cheap and fresh. 


Before you reach the wet market, you will see a lot of such stores selling assortments of squids, fishs, crabs and such.. Look tempting but we are saving the stomach space for later. Anyway we can buy later if we are not full yet. 

Typical wet market, dun bother wearing your nice shoes to this place. Here, you can find all sorts of seafood. A couple of dishes die die must try - Steamed Squid and Grilled Oysters!!

Very very cheap sashimi as compared to SG. However the freshness is compromised. Can skip it for better choices.

Weird looking creatures. Do not know what it is but tot I just take a photo. 

A basket of oysters is around NT200. These are small but delicious. You can bring it in to the row of restaurants and ask them to grill it for you for another NT200. Have it grilled, Damn Delicious. Best oyster I tasted, Beats all the fresh oysters I tried in SG buffets. Total NT400 for this dish (SGD 16), around 20 pcs of oyster. 
 This steamed squid is so sweet and juicy.. Dun know how they cooked. DAMN! "Saliva drooling out..." Please hor... come here, must eat this hor. If not  will knock wall die one...
A Box for abt NT150 ( SGD6). 
One of the stalls inside where you can ask to cook your seafood purchase.
You bring whatever you buy into the restaurant and ask them to cook for you. But dun panick. At the entrance, all the eateries workers will jostle for your business.. very aggressive.. they literally pull you in. Dun get sucked in.. I walked in to the middle despite them pulling and standing in your way..

Remember to ask the price of cooking before ordering. Oh ya, dun bother buying the supposedly filled with egg crabs at the wet market. The sellers will cut the corner of the crab head to show you the crab roe oozing out of the shells.... but basically, the roe are only at the corners... We tot it is full of roe. Chey.... Pay NT800 for like 8 mini crabs.. 

This place is just for you to have a seafood lunch and maybe buy some dried seafood. After you eat, there is no business for you here anymore. 


Now, next destination! Full to the throat liao..
