The Aquatic Market

The Aquatic Market is an all-you-can-eat hot pot buffet in Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong, serving seafood, meat, dim sum and dessert. Diners pick shrimp, crab, clams and abalone from large tanks, hand them to staff to clean, and cook them in coconut chicken broth or lobster head broth. Lunch allows up to four hours at the table, and seafood handed over is returned with a number ticket in about five to ten minutes. The two-hour dinner window is tight for choosing seafood, ordering and waiting.
