Hong Kong residents can buy a variety of fresh fish at fish markets and wet markets. How much do you know about the local fish species? Are you aware of their stories or do you know how to handle them?

In this workshop, Mr. Keith Lai, a fish specialist, will be joining us to introduce his book “Hong Kong Market Sea Fish”. Participants will have the opportunity to handle fresh chilled fish, and learn about fish anatomy and characteristics through demonstrations and guidance from the speaker.
