Bakau Fish Market, Bakau, Gambia
Choose from a wide array of exotic fish and seafood in the bustling, friendly ambience at Bakau Fish Market. Watch fishing boats bring back the daily catch to the smokehouses, where locals later gut, smoke or chill, and package the meat for sale. Wander through the lively market surrounded by huge mango trees, and practice your bartering skills for the lowest price.
The market sells everything from butterfish and brightly colored African pirogues to delicious shrimp. Note that many vendors expect payment should you photograph their stalls.
