Chinese always prefer to buy their fishes fresh. This was not the same as in Singapore. But when you are in Rome, you have to do as the Romans do. So in China, I followed the Chinese way. I choose the fish from the fish tank and the vendor will weigh it and tell me the cost. After payment, he will kill the fish, clean and scale it and then cut it up into cutlets for my fish curry and then pack it up for me. And they will always be amused whenever I say I don’t want the fish head, because that was supposed to be the most prized part of the fish. Well, not for me.
