Semporna Central Market

As fresh as it gets

What we say:

Join the locals doing their daily shopping at this sprawling wet market along the Semporna seafront.

The location allows the catch of the day to be floated right in and you'll find the incredible bounty of the Celebes Sea â€“ fresh fish, crab, prawns, even sea cucumbers â€“ being sold for dinner. Unfortunately, you'll also see sharks and other vulnerable species for sale.

The fruit selection puts the town's supermarket to shame and we dare you to leave without a few mangoes or sliced pineapple.

In a clever move, the stalls along the main footpath around the market specialise in traveller essentials and sundries â€“ look for everything from toothpaste to potato chips to pirated DVDs. The market starts early and wraps up around sunset.

Rating (out of 10):

Please note reviews are now pre moderated. Not all reviews will be published and submissions may be edited for clarity, typos and style before they appear. Ranting tirades, spam and anything else that really belongs somewhere else won't make the cut. If you want to rant, go to Thorntree.
