While the elusive river otter preys on 50-year-old prized koi at the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Park, here are a few more koi-friendly choices in Chinatown where you can get some tasty fish without being hunted down by the authorities on #otterwatch2018. Besides, apparently koi taste like mud anyway.
Hung Win Seafood 洪運海產公司
This long-time staple fishmonger in Chinatown is a sight to be seen. With its fresh seafood on full display, visiting Hung Win is a hark back to fish markets in Asia. Instead of buying frozen tilapia at big box stores or fishing in a muddy pond, try Hung Win’s sustainable Ocean Wise-certified tilapia.
