Brisbane’s best fish market

March 13, 2009

“Let’s find something to do in morning. Don’t want to stay at home and waste time. I still have one more week before my uni starts” – Chris

Coincidentally, Jerry suggested the same on same day too. He wanted to pay a visit to fish market around Brisbane. Hoping to get some fresh salmon or oysters. To me, that sounds like a good plan. I called up Chris. And we decided to go to a fish market at Hamilton in early morning, the next day.

Chester drove us there. We started lanjiao mission™.


Define:

(n.) lanjiao mission

The lanjiao (plural lanjiaos) is an external sexual organ of certain biologically male organisms.The lanjiao is a reproductive organ, technically an intromittent organ, and for mammals, additionally serves as the external organ of urination.

Mission: task, assignment; delegation; errand

1) an important assignment, typically involving travelling abroad with purpose.
2) a group of people sent on a mission to search for pretty girls.
3) the mission members are only consists of lanjiao. no girls allowed.
4) unless pick up during mission

I have to make up this definition and put a trademark on it. I have been in these missions for many many many times. It’s about time to give a proper name to such missions. What you guys think about it? Haha anyway. We reach there around 10am.

The fish market entrance are pretty grand. With all the photos on the wall.. like it’s showcasing the historic background of the fish market.

We stood there for awhile. Look at photos with the fisherman holding up their fish as if it’s their proudest moment. And behind that automatic glass door. I was expecting to look at how grand is the fish market. Seeing that so many great photos on the main entrance.

Ei? Am I in the wrong place? Or is this only a small section of the big fish market? Where are the fresh salmons? Where are the cheap oysters? WHERE?

Seems like this fish market is no bigger than my own common room. /pfft. We were so disappointed. Whole “market” only got two salmon for sale.

My expression means “WHAT THE FUCK?”

Wah. Self proclaimed “Brisbane’s No.1 Seafood”. Probably they should remove the little “.”

BRISBANE’S NO ONE SEAFOOD

Then I can call myself “Brisbane’s No.1 Leng Zai” already..

Your lanjiao mission is a trip to fish market to look for pretty girls??!!!! Please don’t tell people you are from KK!! hahaha

That fish market used to be THE fish market in Brisbane when it was called Sam’s Seafood, and before it went bankrupt because of rapid expansion.

LOL- It probably IS the best fish market in Brisbane. Australia is the world’s biggest island but it’s still almost impossible to get good fresh fish here!
