How it works
Seafood restaurants along the harbor in the Cijin and Gushan ferry areas price many items by weight without clear signage, resulting in bills significantly higher than visitors anticipated. Fish and shellfish presented live in tanks are sold per jin (600g) with prices displayed in small characters, and portions ordered casually can cost several times what the customer expected.
