Kow Chai floating seafood restaurant, Aberdeen Promenade, Aberdeen Harbour, Hong Kong, China
The fishing port of Aberdeen, on the south coast of Hong Kong Island, is a major attraction to both the local population and tourists. Its catch accounts for over one third of Hong Kong's total catch. Local vessels fish the waters of the adjacent continental shelf in the South and East China Seas. Trawling is the most important fishing method, but long lining, gill-netting, purse-seining, hand lining and cage trapping are also practised. The self-financing and non-profit making Fish Marketing Organization provides marketing services. The small Kow Chai sea food restaurant floats in the waters of Aberdeen Harbour, at the western end of the 800m long Aberdeen Promenade. Tourists have the choice of private sampan operators, who tout for trade at the eastern end of the promenade, or licensed operators, such as the Aberdeen Sampan Company, registered with the Hong Kong Tourist Board.
