The time of the Shazikou Grand Gathering is on the fifth and tenth day of the lunar calendar.
For Qingdao people living by the sea, seafood is an essential part of the New Year’s shopping list.
As it is adjacent to Shazikou Pier, the biggest feature of Shazikou Market is its wide variety of seafood, including fresh catches and sweet-dried fish, making it comparable to a "super seafood market".
The Shazikou Fair has a history of nearly a hundred years and is held every fifth and tenth day of the lunar calendar.
In addition to newly landed seafood, dried seafood is also a popular commodity at the Shakou Market. Most of the dried seafood is handmade by the fishermen themselves and sold at the market.
The best-selling dried seafood now is Laoshan sweet-dried fish, among which sea rabbit, Spanish mackerel, and boss fish are the most popular among the public.
