Hong Kong - Gold Fish Market

As a lover of all things market, as well as a diver and serious animal lover, i was beyond ecstatic to find out there was a goldfish market in Hong Kong. 


The gold fish market is situated in the Mong Kok area of hong kong's Kowloon. The market is a series of streets, rather than a structured market. It's amazing! shop upon shop selling every type of fish you could imagine and some you have never even heard of or seen. Things that would be illegal in many western countries, and bargin bin prices compared to your local fish store.  The fish are often displayed outside the shop in plastic bags, ready for you to take home. The Chinese consider goldfish to be particularly lucky, but there are hundreds of other varieties of fish to be found in the streets around Tung Choi street.
