Digha Mohana Fish Market
দিঘা মোহনা মাছের বাজার
A seafood wholesale market at the estuary east of Old Digha. Boats unload at dawn and auctions are lively. You can buy seafood and have vendors cook it for you.
Mohana is an estuarine fishing port east of Digha and one of the largest sea fish wholesale markets in West Bengal. In the early morning, boats come ashore, and pomfret, prawns, crabs, and hilsa are auctioned on the spot amid a noisy, lively scene. Visitors can choose seafood from nearby stalls and have it fried on site or cooked by a small restaurant nearby. The ground is slippery and the smell is strong, so wear non-slip shoes. The best time to visit is before 9 a.m. It is about a 10-minute e-rickshaw ride from Old Digha.
