Beruwala Fishery Harbour, Sri Lanka

Fishermen bring in their catch each morning at Beruwala harbour, and the harbour has lively fish markets and auction houses. Early trading is the main draw, with many sellers at different price points, and some sellers will cut fish to your order on the spot. The harbour handles both wholesale and retail sales.

Good to know: Arrive around 5:30 to 6 am for the freshest fish and better prices. Weekdays are less crowded than weekends. An entry fee may apply (one source mentions Rs. 30), so bring cash.
