the smell is from the water trapped in the drains that the fish stall owners wash there stalls down with at the end of the day its NOT THE FISH the fish is fresh.
i get fish from them all the time.
when they built the (new) ???market the drains are not big enough or they are blocked already not sure which.
it doesnt matter as far as im concerned the fish market should be totally seperated from the market itself away from other stalls,,,most markets i know all have seperate fish markets
The fish market used to be on its own .
but why they decided to put it with the other stalls ???
they should have made a seperate area on broadway where it was .
So, the smell is from the drains? Are you sure? As a customer I just don't feel confident in buying fresh fish from a place that smells like rotting fish. I would have thought that in the creation of the new market the traders must have at least given some input? If a pub smelt like a brewery would you sup there?
The fish is fresh at least on 1 of the stalls i know the owner and know he gets fresh fish, and most of the pubs in Accy do stink but plenty still sup there
I got some fish (cod) the other day and some shrimps they were both really fresh and tasted great.
i had to fight the cat for the shrimps though :-/
i agree with the smelly drain problem but give the market a chance to even get up and running before we all condem it though you are right about the layout......i like the escalators looks like a prime begging site gonna take my guitar and heinz 57 on a bit of string!
