Rating: 4.9 / 5

The Oistins fish market is the single most important commercial fish landing in Barbados, with stalls trading fresh flying fish, kingfish, snapper, tuna, and mahi-mahi off the boats from early morning. Prices are fair and the fish is as fresh as you'll find anywhere — often still being cleaned and filleted to order. Come before 10am for the best selection. Operates daily from around 6am; separate from but walking distance to Oistins Bay Gardens where the Friday-night fish fry takes over after dark.
