DESIGN NAME: Enjoy Happy Food
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Service Design
INSPIRATION: Though Taiwan is an island surrounded by sea, many Taiwanese people lack understanding and knowledge about the edible sea fish living around them. Fish knowledge remains among fish vendors. As food traceability and safety are getting more awareness among Taiwanese people, how to bridge traditional fish vendor's professionalism with modern Taiwanese lifestyle based on the shared appeal for fresh and healthy food? As the epidemic has severely affected traditional fish market, is it possible to turn such a crisis into an opportunity for digital transformation for traditional fish vendors?
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: In this project, a traditional fish vendor is transformed into a modern social e-commerce brand–Enjoy Happy Food, as a demonstration in response to the above-mentioned issues. The brand roots in the vendor’s 40-year traditional fisheries professionalism, traditional market’s way of high customer engagement, and takes customization orders from customers via LINE (a most used social app with coverage over 95 percent of Taiwan's population) to deliver daily caught fresh sea fish with recommended cooking recipes.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The brand owner goes to the fishing port in person before the crack of dawn to handpick the freshest fish. Then, the fish are processed according to customers’ upfront needs and delivered to customers’ homes at designated times to ensure that customers can enjoy the freshest, freshly caught sea fish. The owner maintains high customer engagement on social platform (i.e., LINE) by sharing fishery news, fish knowledge, cooking recipes, and environmental protection issues with customers.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started on Jan 2021 in Tamshui township, New Taipei City, and is keeping on revising service designs according to feedback from customers’ experiences.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Unlike most chain or online markets that sell stocked frozen fish, many Taiwanese people favor traditional fish market for their freshest daily caught fish, professional knowledge in fish, and the close interaction between vendors and customers. After the outbreak of COVID-19, people stop visiting traditional fish market and more and more people shop online for fresh food. Under such circumstances, how can traditional fish vendors still bring freshest, daily caught fish to existing customers, and transform into a social e-commerce brand and reach new customers?
CHALLENGE: To change people’s behaviors takes time. Thus, the design is kept as simple as possible. Based on the revision of the service workflow for relevant stakeholders within the vendor’s supply chain, new tools (e.g., the sticker system for instant packaging) are introduced. This project also makes use of the social app (i.e. LINE) that had already created a social shopping culture in Taiwanese everyday living, to turn traditional fish vendor’s customers to online shoppers, and attract new online customers who didn’t shop at the traditional fish market to connect with the traditional fish vendor.
