Mastering Sanya Hainan Seafood — Pick at the Market and Cook Immediately
A seafood course to enjoy in Sanya, the "Hawaii of China." The standard practice is "Haixian Self-Processing," where you purchase seafood directly at the First Market and pay a cooking fee to a nearby processing shop. To avoid being overcharged, be sure to check the official market price tags and have the seafood weighed right in front of you. Do not miss Wenchangji (boiled chicken), one of Hainan's four famous dishes, and the dessert Qingbuliang.
