Marka Fish Market
Meilleur moment pour visiter
Early morning at 6-8 is the best time, then lively auctions take place and boats bring in the freshest catch. I recommend coming already at dawn to see all the activity in full swing.
Conseils budget
The market is free to visit and you can buy fresh fish directly from fishermen, which is a third cheaper than store prices. Haggling is allowed and expected, but keep a polite tone.

À propos
Faits rapides: Chaque jour, plus de 40 bateaux de pêche arrivent au port pour vendre leur pêche du matin à une vente aux enchères qui ne dure que quelques heures. Ici, les femmes locales traitent chaque jour à la main plus de 10 tonnes de poisson, selon des méthodes transmises de génération en génération.
Points forts: Lorsque les bateaux du matin touchent la plage, commence une vente aux enchères animée où les prix montent et descendent en quelques minutes comme en bourse. Des pêcheurs expérimentés hissent à la main des filets pleins de thons géants, tandis que des pélicans tournoient au-dessus des têtes, attendant leur part du butin.
Conseils d'initiés
- Wear sunscreen and bring a hat, because the midday sun beats down strongly and there is little shade.
- Take photos of the fishermen free of charge without asking permission, but do not photograph them too closely while they are working without a smile and a greeting.
- Walk along the sandy beach south from the market to see how the boats mend their nets and prepare for the next trip.
- Bring cash in small denominations, because vendors cannot change large bills.
