Maldives Fish Market One Of The Islands Biggest Tourist Attractions

Maldives is the destination for the ultimate holiday seeker

. Where the sun shines all year around and the beaches are warm enough that diving wont even require a wet suit, this archipelago of oceanic wonder is the place to be. The astounding natural splendour of the corals blending with clear, deep blue ocean makes for a divers paradise and the soft sandy beaches a sun-worshippers shrine. Welcoming holidaymakers of every sort, the islands are a place where life is simplicity itself, is an idyllic haven of luxurious rest and comfort.

One reason the Maldives is so popular is because there are so many things to witness and experience. Places and things that would otherwise seem ordinary or mundane here become exotic tourist attractions for people visiting the islands. One such experience is the Male fish market. Always crowded with the freshest ocean kills and people alike, this epicentre of commercial activity is one of the islands biggest tourist attractions. Packed with shops that house a variety of products, its here that dhonis from various other regions of the country unload their catch. Ranging from fresh fruits to dry fish to vegetables, produce and meats are collected from various different atolls and sold in this market.

The fishing dhonis usually make their way towards land sometime mid-afternoon after the days haul. The main catch of these fishermen consist of skipjack or tuna. The tuna fish takes precedent over other types as the residue is also used, mainly to be processed into animal food supplement and fishmeal. The fish that are brought are generally splayed on the ground across tiled floors. Since these floors are washed daily and kept extremely clean, the open markets are not in any way unsanitary or unhealthy. Its not an unusual sight to see daily commuters after work in formal dress shirt and tie buying their stock of fish in the market.

When visiting the islands, a Maldives resort can be recommended as one of the best places to spend a holiday. Luxurious and comfortable, these hotels come with the best of amenities. A Maldives island hotel that meets and exceeds such expectations is the Velassaru Maldives a luxury hotel consisting of villas and bungalows to provide the guest with the ultimate holiday experience in rest and relaxation out in the sun.
