Marka Fish Market
Beste tid å besøke
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.
Budsjettips
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.
Anbefalt for
Fish food gourmets, Photography enthusiasts, Explorers of local culture, Morning people

Om
Raske fakta: Mer enn 40 fiskebåter ankommer havnen hver dag for å selge morgenfangsten på en auksjon som bare varer et par timer. Her behandler lokale kvinner hver dag for hånd mer enn 10 tonn fisk, med metoder som er gått i arv fra generasjon til generasjon.
Høydepunkter: Når morgenbåtene når stranden, begynner en livlig auksjon der prisene stiger og faller i løpet av minutter som på en børs. Erfarne fiskere trekker for hånd inn garn fulle av kjempe tunfisk, mens pelikaner sirkler over hodene deres og venter på sin del av fangsten.
Insidertips
- 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.
