Visit to Kukup Fish Farm

by Zhiqiang & Tingyi on October 16, 2009 · 8 comments

The 2D1N Kukup package includes a guided tour of a local fish farm. At about 10am, a ferry will pick us up right from our “backyard” – the outdoor wooden platform to bring us to the fish farm which is the middle of the sea.

Ferry to Kukup Fish Farm

At the fish farm, there will be a demonstration of how the angler fish catches its prey (e.g. small insects) – by spitting water onto it, causing it to fall into the water, where they will devour it immediately.

There was also a mini “petting” zoo where you get to touch sea creatures such as starfish and a horseshoe crab. The horseshoe crab looks like something out of an Alien vs Predator movie when viewed up close.

Starfish & Horseshoe Crab

There are also opportunities for you to shop for dried foodstuff here e.g. prawn crackers, various type of sauces and even sunglasses!

Shopping @ Fish farm

While walking around the fish farm, we sometimes have to navigate around creaking narrow wooden planks – they looked as if they will crumble at the slightest touch and yet are strong enough to hold our weight. Amazing! :-)

Look like a fun trip to me!

First time seeing a horseshoe crab :) The shell reminds me of marine ‘dinosaur’ :) I LOVE visiting fishing town/farm. I just returned from Sekinchan fishing town. A small but wonderful town with loads of fishing activities. But, no keropok :(

Cheers!
