As I remember, those times I visited China, (very long time ago) I never saw limes or lemons sold.

Perhaps the Chinese never used lemon on sea foods.

Yeah, the first ten years or so that I lived in China, I never saw lemons, but they are easily available here in the south, now. They are occasionally used with fish, but I'm not really sure what most people do with them. I don't recall ever being served any dish with lemon in a Chinese home, but all the supermarkets and markets have them. I must ask.

 

But then there is the local, famous Zhuang dish from Guangxi - Zhuang Lemon Duck.
