Howrah Fish Market

The air filled with an impermeable smell of seafood, a tad too overcrowded and definitely not for the faint at heart: Welcome to one of the largest fish markets in the country! Get lost in the huge maze of fishmongers serving up over 1000 varieties of fish incurring a turnover of almost 10 crore a day (gulp!) The hype of the taazi machli is vouched for when you go home and bite into the first slice of paturi as it takes over your senses. Adding another feather to its cap, this market is perhaps the only one in the country to remain open for more than twelve hours from 4 am every day.
