One
of the major tourist attraction spots in Maldives is the Male fish
market. Being the hub of commercial activities, Maldives fish market
is a place that is always overcrowded with people. The shops over
here are stocked with a wide variety of products. It is here in the
fish market of Maldives that dhonis from different parts of the
country unload the dried fish, fresh fruits and vegetables collected
from the various atolls.
The pace of activities picks up during the mid-afternoon, when
fishing dhonis come back with their day's catch. Fish catch, mainly
consisting of the tuna fish, is taken across the road to the
open-sided market, where they are laid out on the tiled floors. The
moment these fishes are displayed, they are bought by the locals.
The fish market is kept very clean and washed each day.
