The transaction between the buyers and sellers is a very interesting thing to watch. First, buyers usually bargain with the dealers. Once the price is agreed, buyers put their cash into a small pocket lifted up from the boat. Then, the dealer will immediately prepare the order and deliver it to the buyer using the small pocket. Another special feature about Seafood Street is that there are some famous seafood restaurants nearby and the chefs are willing to cook for you if you want to enjoy your seafood right after you purchase it from the market.
