Speightstown Fish Market

Fresh Catch · St. Peter · Daily

Rating: 4.8 / 5

The main northern fish market, working out of the old harbour in Speightstown, St. Peter. Less busy than Oistins and considerably less touristy — this is where many west-coast Bajans buy their weekly fish. Expect fresh kingfish, snapper, mahi-mahi, and flying fish depending on what came off the boats that morning. Arrive early (before 9am) for the best selection. Worth combining with a walk through Speightstown's historic streets and a cold drink at Fisherman's Pub a few doors away.

Highlights: Daily · Less Touristy · Kingfish · Snapper · Arrive Early

The flying fish — the national symbol — peaks November to June. Over 17 charter boats operate from Bridgetown Harbour with half-day trips from

The Oistins fish market sells the freshest catch daily, straight off the boats. This is the complete Barbados fishing guide — charters, tournaments, species, seasons, and spots.
