One of the various sights rated among the first in must see list of Bruges is the fish market. It is a little away from the squares. This covered arcade was specially built for the fish mongers in 1821. Even today, fish is sold in the stalls here.
I walked through it; I got the feeling the whole thing is staged. They have successfully managed to preserve the traditional atmosphere. May be the locals around and the restaurant owners are their regular customers.Nothing much to do here, can't buy any to try them out in back in our hotel. So, took some pictures. The arcade has stalls for sale of other stuffs too, of course a little away from the fish stalls to avoid the stench.
I was keen to see this fish market in Belgium and compare it with the one I have seen here in Tamilnadu. You can see it here. Bangalore too has some conreted fish stalls, may be I will do a post on one of them.

Great shots, Indrani! I love fish, but not the smell at markets!! Still, it's the best place to get the freshest and best! Hope your week is off to a great start!

I can imagine they would surely smell, especially in warmer weather.
The market is so free... It is always crowded in Seoul. Nice shots!

Wonderful photos. I really like them all.
I think it's great that they have managed to preserve the original atmosphere! Very nice photos and interesting post!
Great shots, Indrani.
That looks like a great place. Those fishermen have to work hard to make a life.
Looks so neat,clean & hygienic and I am sure odour free !
it was built far from the square bec of the smell i believe. it's always nice to check out the local markets even though you're only looking and not buying.
Superbes photos et bon reportage.

Though it is interesting to observe, I can not stand the stench. The last bunch hanging, are they too fishes. Very sharp photographs.
Though I dont eat fish , I liked the way the salting process is pictured and presented.
I believe, the Indian salt fish/fishes is a delicacy , many fish eaters will love, on rainy day.
Many fish eaters like the salted fish of eastern coast!
love my fish and hence this post
