Sandakan Seafood Market, Sabah

Sandakan Seafood Market, Sabah, serves the freshest seafood on Borneo's east coast, with mud crabs and giant tiger prawns landed daily from the Sulu Sea. Over 15 species of reef fish and grouper are available each morning, priced 20% lower than Kota Kinabalu's waterfront eateries. The humid air carries the briny scent of the sea, a sensory immersion no air-conditioned restaurant can replicate, making this street food at its most primal.
