Gotta love the freshness of all that fruit. Strolling through the market is a great way to observe the culture and to gain a glimpse of the types of food they eat. Lots of familiar things that are characteristic of any market, apples, grapes, pineapple, bananas, and oranges. Also, lots of tropical fruits such as durian, dragon fruit, pineapple, star-fruit, mangos, and some unfamiliar fruit. Inside the warehouse the vendors display their fresh vegetables, seafood, and meat.
There are so many different types of leafy greens, onions, and mushrooms that I wouldn’t know even where to start. Chinese people like to know that their food is fresh so there are many live animals that are available to guarantee freshness. Styrofoam containers hold fresh clams, crabs, shrimp, fish, frogs, and many other sea and fresh water creatures. There are a few stalls that have large glass containters filled with all sorts of dried Chinese herbs and teas.

Looks a little like Granville Island...
That's exactly what I though except the atmoshpere isn't as quaint and the market only sells edible items.
