The First Seafood Market Sanya’s First Seafood Market is one of the oldest seafood markets in Sanya with the most prosperous environment, the loudest name, the widest variety, and the cheapest prices. It is located in downtown Sanya, close to Haitian Shengyan Port and the International Shopping Center.

Almost all the famous restaurants in Sanya are within the 3-kilometer business circle of the First Market.

Therefore, the first market is almost a check-in point that cannot be missed when traveling to Sanya.

So we have chosen this as our top choice for buying seafood, and share with you practical tips for buying seafood here.

The main entrance of the First Market has fewer people during the day.

Transportation methods Back to the first market, no matter where you are, three transportation methods are recommended.

1. Public transportation: Use the navigation software on your mobile phone to navigate the "First Market", select the public transportation mode, and then take the public transportation according to the navigation information.

Advantages: It’s cheap and you can see the streets and alleys of Sanya.

Disadvantages: It takes a long time, and some places require transfers.

2. Didi: Use WeChat or Didi on your mobile phone to hail a taxi and enter the first market.

PS: Try not to take taxis. Some taxi drivers will take you to restaurants with rebates, but DiDi will not.

3. Rent a car/drive a car: Just obey the traffic rules, follow the navigation and drive carefully.

It is recommended to navigate directly to the "International Shopping Center", where there are always underground parking spaces, 300 meters away from the First Market.

Attached below is a navigation map around the First Market.

This is a navigation map around the First Market, with additional information on buses, parking, and taxis.

The seafood classified market has been selected, but we need to understand the seafood before buying it.

In order to help everyone better understand seafood, we first classify seafood to help everyone remember it easily.

The first is the four major seafood main dishes: fish, shrimp, crab, and lobster.

Then there are shellfish suitable for steaming and snails suitable for boiling and stir-frying.

Finally, there are boneless and other categories.

There are 8 categories in total, I will introduce them one by one below.

When introducing seafood, the approximate price of the last month will be written down, which can be used as a reference.

Because the typhoon weather will affect the price of seafood the next day, the price will occasionally fluctuate, but the difference is generally not much.

I will come back and make changes in two months when there are overall price changes, so you can bookmark this guide or stay tuned.

On the right side of the entrance is the dry goods area, the main entrance is the fruit area, and going to the right is the seafood area.

After entering the market, use the navigation map to determine the location of the fair scale so that you can go to the fair scale for re-weighing when necessary.

This is a simple navigation map of the interior of the First Market, standardizing the location of the doors and the location of the fair scales.

NO.1-The first lobster market has three main types of lobster, Boston lobster (Australian lobster), blue lobster, and flower lobster.

The best-selling lobster is Boston lobster, which can be bought for about 100 yuan for about 1 kilogram of lobster. It is suitable for main dishes and can be steamed or stir-fried. Blue lobster is generally slightly smaller, weighing more than half a kilogram.

However, it has less shell and more meat, and is more expensive than Bolong, so it is suitable for steaming; Hualong is generally more than two kilograms in size, and is more expensive, so it is suitable for those who do not consider price factors.

If you want to eat a larger lobster, it is recommended to buy a lobster weighing two to three pounds, which costs only about 300 yuan.

You can also buy a lobster weighing about 1 kilogram. The price of lobster is relatively low recently, and you can get it for 90 yuan.

You can also buy a small wave dragon weighing 8 ounces and a green dragon weighing half a pound. The combined price of the two is only about 150 yuan.

Lobsters weighing less than 1 kilogram are sold by the piece. After negotiating the price, just pick a lively and slightly larger lobster.

The difference between Bolong and Qinglong mainly depends on whether they have large pliers.

Key points: The key to choosing a lobster is whether it is alive or dead. The way to judge is to see if it moves. If the vitality is lower, the meat quality will be lower.

Secondly, look at the tail to determine whether there is more meat or less meat. If there are more shells, there will be less meat. If there are less shells, there will be more meat.

PS: Some merchants in the market will call the wave dragon Australian lobster. This is just a marketing ploy. Don’t pay attention to it. Just know that the wave dragon you are buying is fine.

Otherwise, when you return to the mainland and tell your friends that the price of an Australian dragon in Sanya is 100 yuan, you will be considered bragging, because the Australian dragon is very expensive.
