The Alumni Foodie Club successfully concluded the second chapter of the “Taste Together ‧ District Flavors” series on 13 December 2025, with more than 30 alumni immersing themselves in Hong Kong’s seafood heritage at the Aberdeen Fish Market.
The event offered an exclusive behind-the-scenes experience, beginning with an introduction by representatives from the Fish Marketing Organization (FMO). They explained the FMO’s role in providing marine fish wholesaling facilities and clean seawater supply services essential for keeping live fish across its seven markets. The team also shared insights into their daily rhythm, noting that their workday begins long before dawn, with staff waking as early as 2 am to prepare for bustling market operations starting at 4 am. During the Q&A session, alumni eagerly took part in a quiz to win unique hand-drawn posters illustrating various fish species.
Afterwards, the FMO led a guided tour through the vibrant market. Alumni roamed the aisles, observing everything from lobsters and salmon to sophisticated water filtration systems, gaining a deeper appreciation for the modern “tide-to-table” supply chain.
The visit ended with a seafood lunch right in the market. Over super-fresh dishes, the group shared stories and discoveries from the tour, making for a lively and memorable meal.
With the salty sea air of Aberdeen still fresh in their minds, members are already looking forward to the next stop on their flavourful journey, as the Alumni Foodie Club continues to explore Hong Kong’s diverse culinary landscape one district at a time.
