Today we took a tuk-tuk to a city near Kampot called Kep. We went to the crab market in Kep. The crab market is packed with vendors and locals naming prices and enjoying their meals. In the crab market there are crabs, shrimps, squids, clams etc. The market is right across from the sea where you can see fisherman catching crab and other sea creatures. There are two kinds of crab, Stone Crab and Blue Crab. Most of the vendors said Stone Crab was better, but it was also more expensive. We ate squid, shrimp, and of course…crab! 
This is the crab we got at a restaurant just outside of the market. It was labour intensive to prepare the crab for eating but it was sooo delicious. I ate the crab with steamed rice which added a great element to the dish.
This is a skewer of shrimp that we got in the market. I loved it so much. I dared my dad to eat the eye but he didn’t go for it. I ate 2 shrimps off the skewer.
This is me eating squid for the first time in my life. From the look on my face you would think I did not like it but it was totally scrumptious. The best part was the tentacles. Again my dad did not eat the eye😥. Anyway, to say the least the squid was very good.
This is a basket of more squid, these squid are a little bigger then the ones we ate. These squid looked like they were just caught from the sea. When I saw these I was so surprised but the vendor was just sitting there picking up a squid like it was a thing she did every day, (it probably was).
This is the grill we got the squid from. 2 squids were 5000 Riel ( Riel is Cambodian currency). 5000 Riel is $1.25 US. It surely was an awesome adventure at the crab market in Kep. (I still cannot believe I ate squid😀).
P.S. I will be off WiFi for 4 days on Koh Rong Samloem so you will not here from me till the 15th. Until then, Bye!
