The seafood that is sold here does not only come from Bungkaih waters, but from other areas as well. Like Tanjung, Keude Blang, Cot Trueng, to fish from West Lancang waters. The price offered here is cheaper than the price in supermarkets, or in traditional markets. Besides of course it's fresher.

Most of the fish sold here are freshly caught. Well, one way to check whether a fish is fresh or not, first is that the gills are still red, the eyes are not broken and are clear, and the skin color of the fish, the color of the scales is still very bright.

No less than 100 tons of seafood are sold here every day, with a turnover of up to 250 million Rupiah. According to Ahmad, one of the merchants here said the average gross turnover was 20-50 million, depending on the provision of goods from the region. Sometimes from the unloading of the ship too. But for cleanliness, it's around 5-10 million.

To maintain the good quality of the fishermen's catch, up to the buyers' hands, the port officials routinely check. Fish that are unloaded at the Bungkaih market are guaranteed to be good. Because the fishing boats in Kuala Bungkaih, they use insulation, so they don't use ice anymore.


Outside the market, there are also several stalls and restaurants ready to welcome buyers who can't wait to taste their prey. You can cook your groceries right away at a price of 15-30 thousand rupiah per kilo.

Oh yeah, it turns out that the taste of the freshly caught, fresh fish tastes completely different.
