About
Quick facts: Fishermen haul in their daily catch here by 5 AM, with over 200 boats docking each morning. The pier transforms into a lively auction floor where seafood prices change by the minute.
Highlights: Watch local women sort through baskets of squid and crab using techniques passed down for three generations. The air smells of salt and fish sauce as buyers haggle over the day's freshest catch right off the boat.
Insider tips
- Wear rubber-soled shoes as the wooden planks get slippery from fish scales and saltwater.
- Stand near the large orange buoy at the pier's midpoint for the best view of unloading boats.
- Skip the stalls selling dried squid near the entrance, the real deals happen dockside.
- Bring a small cooler and ice if you plan to buy fresh catch for a beach barbecue later.
