Aberdeen Morning Market

Different from many wet markets managed by a government department or estate developer, the Aberdeen Morning Market keeps its original vibes as it is neither indoor nor managed by any company. The market spread along the Aberdeen Promenade with varied kinds of operation – relatively proper stores built in stilt houses, hawkers with their catches in buckets directly placed on the ground, and some fishermen just trade with consumers from the boat. Traditional wet markets have been strictly overseen by the government since the 80s, because of the plague pandemic raised by poor sanitary conditions among wet markets and hawkers. Meanwhile, the Aberdeen Morning Market is indeed the best place to pick up fresh and affordable live seafood directly from the fishermen – to feel the beating heart of this seafaring little Hong Kong community.
