We can’t guarantee all the foods in the market are fresh. Some of the products will be kept in the refrigerator to be sold the next day. Of course, it is not a rare thing if you buy seafood at the mart or the like. But dear, you’re coming to an island, where beaches and seafood are all over the way, so there is no need to treat yourself with frozen food. Also, avoiding being overcharged is necessary, especially when you walk into a shop with no price list.

Here are some tips and tricks to wrap yourself with:

  • For fish, pick the ones with bright eyes, vibrant flesh, metallic skin, and no pungent odor. 
  • For live creatures like crabs, shrimps, or lobsters, look for the ones that swimming happily on the tank. Instead, stay away from those sulking in the corners or hanging motionlessly. 
  • The salesmen at the food eateries tend to attract and even force you to stay if you enter their stalls. Therefore, it is better to walk up and down along the street to check the food and the price first before deciding to stop by at any.
