The Bandra Fish market is the domain of the Koli fisherwomen, who come here to sell fish, most of them stay at Chimbai, Mahim or Khar Danda.
They are a very congenial lot, have fixed customers, extremely polite and gracious.
They are very fun loving people , but you have to drive a hard bargain, the best time to get fish is before they break for the day at about 1 oclock..
Than they give the fish to you at almost throw away price.
Sundays are really crowded.
On one side of the fish market a few women sell shell fish and live jumbo crabs.
The most in demand are Pomfrets, prawns , ravas and gol, bangdas or sardines , bombay ducks..
You hardly see lobsters here..
I have been coming to this market , which is now close to my house since 25 years.
A little ahead is the onoion sellers and beyond that the beef market .
Next to the beef market is the mutton market and the chicken shops.
Bandra Bazar is the most neglected Municipal market in Mumbai..filthy , dirty and totally unhygeinic during the rains when the entire market becomes inundated.
