An interesting visit if you have an experienced guide with you. Our guide Tesfaye with the nick-name Fish was great! VERY invested and could tell great stories about the fish market and the daily lives of the locals. He also knew a lot about all different species of birds and monkeys in the area. To book him: +251 (0) 91 677 8650 You get to see the fishermen do their work and at the same time experience a blend of birds, like the Maribou stork. Market did not smell at all. In the local park next to the market you get to see beautiful nature, more birds and some monkeys, like the Colobus monkey. Very nice!

This is an interesting place. Very primitive, lots of fish being handled and prepared on the floor. Beautiful scenes of boats and nets. Large birds being fed with fish remains. Our local guide for the market was Tesfaye, nicknamed "fish" he told us. A very friendly, colorful and fun guide thoroughly knowledgeable about all details of the market.
