Along Castle Peak Beach, this busy working seafood market sits adjacent to rows of dai pai dong (food stalls), as well as fancier enclosed establishments, ready to cook up whatever you've picked. This is like Sai Kung seafood feasting, but with more locals than tourists and with no English spoken (but pointing and smiling should get you going – just be sure to ask for prices first).
