Gut it out: Shanghai fish market tutorial

by Sophie Lloyd

One of Shanghai's biggest fish markets, the 24-hour Tongchuan Lu sells the freshest seafood in the city.

Alongside lively locals and pungent aromas, you can bag an array of live fish to take home, or straight to one of the market's local dining haunts to be cooked up.

What to buy

Faced with a sea of vendors on arrival at this fish market, it’s hard to know where to start. Our advice? Take a deep breath and dive in.

Get the freshest seafood around by buying your own live fish at the Tongchuan Fish Market. Then take it straight to one of the local dining haunts to be cooked up.

Part of the fun is wandering the stalls, browsing the live offerings, dodging fish entrails and being grateful you didn't wear open-toed shoes.

Prices at local wet markets are determined by weight, per 500 grams ("jin" in Mandarin). Shop around and bargain hard. You’ll find many of the stalls carry similar selections so keep scouring if one doesn't meet your price point.
