Fish bazaars in the city function differently but conveniently enough: some start off early in the morning and sell out by 9am, others operate at regular shop hours; a few set themselves up for only a few hours in the evening. These places can be trusted to only sell catch that's been brought over the same day. If you thought variety in fresh fish shopping was a privilege better enjoyed by cities along the coast, we've gone out and collected evidence to prove otherwise.

CR Park
For times when shopping leaves you hungry, and waiting to get home and cook seems like a stretch, CR Park has shops that fry fish on the spot. The excellent fish fry and cutlets are coated in breadcrumbs and stored, ready to be fried and served with a spicy coconut, yogurt and mustard chutney.
