Decided to visit this place, hoping to see the huge tuna. It's not a big market and easy for tourist to walk about. Was fortunate enough to see one of the fishing boat unloading their cstch. The fish there were the freshest I have ever seen. Sadly there are no sashimi shop to enjoy these fresh fish.

It's probably a good idea to go as early as you can, because you want to see as much of the action to be able to really appreciate how fresh the fish really are. You can see the boats coming in from the different islands, to them offloading the fish, and seeing the fish being delivered to the nearby fish market. It was a unique experience because whilst it was very raw, I think we can truly appreciate how hard these fishmen work to get the fish to the market and then of course to see the traders do their business.
In living in the city, sometimes we get disconnected from the food that are served to us at the table or even from the supermarket so it was a wonderful experience to see how the fish are actually brought in.

Very nice place if you want to experience a local market and local life. It's an authentic Malé experience.

Although rather chaotic, the Fish Market in Malé provides you with a real, authentic experience as you see how locals thrive on fishing, the second largest industry in the Maldives.

Not bad for a fish market, but naming it a sightseeing spot is a bit too much. Generally an untidy part of the city, lots of smell, but way of offering looks hygienic.

We decided to visit as it was part of our tour, but we found it smelly, and the floors wet and slippy, so if you dont want to go tell the guide you want to miss it.

This place was bustling when we were there. Many different types of fish for sale. The fish market is located right across the street from the vegetable and fruit market.

Interesting and active fish center with different types of fish. They have a long table where they cut up and clean the fish for you. Be careful in flip flops cause a lot of bloody water on the ground. But interesting place to wander for 10 minutes.

Добрый день, знатоки и любители Мальдив. Возник неожиданный для меня вопрос - как на английском языке произносить название столицы Мале , чтобы местные жители поняли меня правильно? Спасибо.

На просторах интернета прочитала, что на Мальдивах покупали вяленого тунца в вакуумной упаковке. Может кто знает, где его купить? На рыбном рынке в Мале есть вяленый тунец в упаковке?

Рынок очень маленький, там только свежая рыба, но рядом много магазинчиков, где вы сможете найти вяленного тунца.

How to go to Male Fish Market. Where it is located. ?
Marion W

don't know where you'll be coming from but if you are the airport ferry terminal go up on Sosun Magu till Majeed Magu road (you're at the corner of the ADK hospital); turn left on Faashanaa Kilege Magu and you'll run right into the market.
But be sure to watch the fishing boats at the harbor (way more fun and interesting). Enjoy
