Berbera Fish Market
Bästa tid att besöka
Come at 6:00-7:00 AM, when the boats are just returning and the liveliest auction begins. By 10:00 AM most of the fish has already been sold, and the market calms down.
Budgettips
Free entry. You can buy freshly grilled fish for 2-5 dollars. Locals haggle, so feel free to negotiate the price down by half.
Rekommenderas för
Photographers and bloggers, Fans of local cuisine, Seekers of authentic experiences, Travelers with children over 10 years old

Om
Snabba fakta: Varje morgon lastas upp till 50 ton färsk fisk som lokala fiskare kommer med i traditionella båtar. Handeln börjar före gryningen och går som en auktion: den som ropar högst får den bästa fångsten.
Höjdpunkter: Här kan du för första gången i livet prova hajkött, grillas direkt över glöd vid kajen. Lokala kockar tillagar det med stark chili och lime. Fiskarna låter dig klättra upp i deras båtar och fotograferas med tre meter långa hammarhajar medan de fortfarande ligger på betonggolvet.
Insidertips
- Wear shoes you don't mind getting dirty: the concrete floor is wet and slippery from scales and water.
- The best photos are taken from the pier, where you can see boats unloading sharks right onto the concrete.
- Try "sambusa" (fish pie) from the grandmothers at the entrance; they fry them right in front of you.
- Do not photograph the vendors without asking: smile, ask for permission, and they won't refuse you.
