Air-conditioned Fish Market in Taipei

The "Air-conditioned Fish Market" (Taipei Fish Market) is a must-visit destination! This is not your typical fish market; it's a paradise for sashimi, sushi, and fresh seafood lovers, all housed in a clean, cool, and comfortable air-conditioned space 😍 🛍️ How to enjoy the market? The market is divided into two main zones: Fresh Market Zone: Selling fresh fish, shellfish, crabs, and a variety of seafood (neatly arranged in refrigerated displays). Food Hall Zone: Featuring restaurants where you can dine in or grab food to go. Pro tip: Take a stroll around the market first to explore the options. One round won't be enough because every shop has tempting menus! 📝 We tried several dishes — Mixed Sashimi: Salmon, scallops, and maguro so fresh you'll want to applaud. Donburi (Rice Bowl with Sashimi): Overflowing with toppings, it's pure bliss. Baked oysters with cheese and grilled scallops with butter: Aromatic and absolutely unmissable! Freshly squeezed orange juice is the perfect palate cleanser 🍊 ❄️ Atmosphere: Clean, slightly upscale, yet very affordable! This market feels more like walking through a "premium seafood mall" than a traditional market. The air-conditioning is refreshing, the crowd is lively but not chaotic, and there are plenty of seating areas to rest. Some shops even have counters where you can dine right away. Perfect for foodies, photographers, and anyone looking to escape the heat or rain 😆 📌 Small tips before you shop and feast: The market is open from morning to evening, but visiting between late morning and early afternoon is ideal—food is still available, and the crowd isn't overwhelming. Accepts both cash and EasyCard (at some shops). Don't forget to come with an empty stomach because you won't be able to stop eating! 📍 Location: Taipei Fish Market (台北魚市) 🚇 Near MRT Yuanshan Station (Red Line), about a 10-minute walk. 🕒 Open daily from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM (Food Hall gets lively from 10:00 AM onwards). 💰 Price: Starts at NT$100–300 depending on the menu.
