Fresh Fish At Pasar Nelayan Kuala Bakam

On the way back to Miri after my trip to Tusan Beach and Beraya Beach yesterday, I made a brief stop at the Pasar Nelayan in Kuala Bakam. I have driven past this fish market many times without making a stopover.

It is a small fish market but I noticed quite a lot of people stopping by to buy fish.  I descended a small stairways behind the market to take a look at the river behind it. It was a picturesque sight and exuded a sense of tranquility.

The fish vendors were very friendly, smiling at me as I walked past their stalls . I really think the fish at this market are quite fresh as business was quite good. I saw a small stingray that was still alive at one stall.

As I took photos from one end of the market, a lady customer at one of the stalls sportingly smiled and posed for me. It makes me feel good that I am living in Sarawak where people are always so friendly.
