As you step in, you are greeted by the strong smell of the sea and fresh fish, the loud calls of auctioneers, and the sight of fishermen landing their daily catch. The market primarily deals in wholesale trade, especially in the early morning hours when boats bring in fresh seafood which is then auctioned off to retailers and restaurant owners.
