Shek O Snacks

On a bright and clear 77 degree Sunday... I think this was two sundays ago, I went with some friends to Shek O( 石澳) close in distance to Stanley and Big Wave Bay known for the beachy landscape as well as nice waves for surfers brave enough to venture into the polluted HK Ocean.

When you First get there, you are surrounded on both sides by snack shops. Some of the snacks most famous to the area are Dried Squid pieces that are grilled on a mini toaster like contraption, and curried fish balls on skewers.

Here are some pictures of the Dried Foods available on the side of the street.

Here is a picture of Shek O right before sunset.

The second picture captures Arthur buying the Dried Squid which is slightly chewy, salty and has an oven burnt taste embedded into the flavor. The giant jar holds some fishballs...which are most popularly served with a curry flavored sauce that is sold in a cup.

The Last picture captures all the dried squids, fish, and other dried seafood that people buy to season their foods, or snack on.

Cheers! And Happy Eating!
