Batumi Fish Market
თევზის ბაზარი
A seafood market in the northern port area, where you pick out a Black Sea fish and hand it to a neighboring restaurant to cook, the way locals recommend eating seafood.
Batumi Fish Market is located near the port area in the north of the city. Stalls sell Black Sea grey mullet, horse mackerel, flounder, red mullet and shrimp, as well as farmed trout. After choosing your fish by weight, you can take it straight to the market's second floor or to a small restaurant next door. For a cooking fee charged by weight, the chef will fry or grill it, served with salad, bread and local beer. Prices are reasonable. The surroundings are a bit messy, so keep an eye on your belongings. A taxi from the city center takes about 10 minutes.
Opening hours
About 9:00–22:00 daily
