How to Eat Cheap and Affordable Food in Sanya? Sanya Food Secrets Revealed
How to eat food in Sanya?
When going to Sanya, many people want to try local seafood. Due to the high salinity of the water in Sanya, the seafood here is indeed very fresh. However, be careful of the scams in seafood markets!
Many people are worried about weighing inaccuracies. You can prepare a 500ml mineral water bottle for comparison and keep an eye on the vendor's hands. They may replace the live crab you picked with a dead crab. When buying other seafood or fruits, you must also be careful. Relatively good seafood markets include Phoenix Seafood Market, Return New Village Seafood Market, Train Head Seafood Market, Retired Workers Seafood Market, and Spring Garden Seafood Market. You can buy seafood yourself in the market, and there are processing shops next to the market. Be sure to negotiate the processing fees in advance! Popular dishes include stir-fried snails, garlic steamed lobster, bean sauce golden fish, lotus steamed sea urchin, crispy squid rolls, chili crab in bun, and various dishes are available.
When going to Sanya, don't forget to try Hainan's four famous dishes: Wenchang Chicken, Jiake Di Duck, Dongshan Goat, and Lek Crab. Wenchang Chicken is a must-order for me every time I go to Sanya.
