Trincomalee Fish Market
A busy daily fish market near the bus station, liveliest in the early morning with the Bay of Bengal catch.
Trincomalee's fish market is described as a raucous daily market near the town's bus station. The catch from the Bay of Bengal is sold here, and the early morning hours, when the wholesale trade is at its peak, are the busiest and the most photogenic.
It is a working market rather than a tourist attraction, so wear shoes you don't mind getting wet, keep out of the way of porters and ask before taking photos of people. Nearby, a separate vegetable market handles wholesale produce.
