The shores are where you find dry fish, but if you want fresh seafood, you should head to the wet market found beside the beach. The market has numerous stalls selling a variety of fresh seafood. From mackerel and tuna to squid and prawns, you can find whatever you want at this exciting and chaotic fish market. The market doesn't operate on Sundays as the majority of Negombo's population head to the church in the morning; Sunday is the rest day for the locals. However, some Muslim fishermen can be seen at the market, but if you want the full experience of visiting the wet market, visit from Monday to Saturday.
