Budai Tourism Fish Market Introduction
Budai Fishing Port is the main gathering place for fish catch in the town, featuring a variety of products including farmed fish, caught shrimp, and imported seafood. Among the seafood, Budai is particularly famous for its oysters, which are not farmed in the shallow waters like most, but rather in deeper seas. This method helps them avoid water pollution and allows them to consume more plankton, resulting in plump and delicious oysters. In the front left of Budai Fishing Port, an old water tower prominently displays the words “Chiayi District Fishermen's Association Direct Sales Center.” To the left of the "Buxin Bridge" is the fish auction market and the tourist fishing market. Budai Fishing Market is well-known, and after noon each day, crowds gradually pour in, transforming the calm little fishing village into a bustling hub. Especially on weekends, tour buses and private cars queue in long lines to enter the market streets, where tourists come and go continuously. The sounds of vendors calling out and bargaining with tourists create a lively atmosphere. Budai Fishing Port is primarily known for shrimp fishing, with a wide variety of fish, shrimp, crabs, and shells available. The lively fish and shrimp, along with fresh-cut oysters, are a testament to the hard work of Budai fishermen. The street food here is diverse, with “Oyster Buns” emerging as a popular new snack in recent years, along with dishes such as oyster omelets, oyster fritters, oyster cakes, and oyster vermicelli. Additionally, various seafood snacks like fried crabs and fried squid are available to satisfy your appetite for a delightful feast!
