Kivukoni Fish Market in Dar Es Salaam
Be Part of the Action at Kivukoni Fish Market: The waterfront suburb of Kivukoni is home to the famous Kivukoni Fish Market, where local fishermen arrive early every morning to offload the catch of the day from their traditional dhows. Restaurateurs, hoteliers and members of the public gather at around 7:00 a.m. to bargain fiercely for the best seafood in a raucous auction — providing a fantastic opportunity for photographers and the chance to see an impressive range of Indian Ocean species. Throughout the rest of the day, you can purchase fresh fish or seafood that has already been cleaned, cooked and prepared. You’ll need a strong stomach for the smell, and haggling is expected. The market opens at 6:00 a.m.
Location of Kivukoni Fish Market: The Kivukoni fish market is located at the intersections of Kivukoni front road and Barrack Obama drive, in Kivukoni area of Dar es Salaam Tanzania. Its location puts it in the city’s CBD and next to the main state house, the Kivukoni bus station (both for BRT system and dala dala’s) and near the mouth of the Magogoni creek (harbour).
