About this experience

Negombo fish market at dawn

The Lellama fish market bursts into life before sunrise as oruwa fishing boats unload tuna, marlin and prawns onto the sand. Cured and sun-dried fish (karawala) lay out in geometric patterns — a photographer's paradise. Wander early for the freshest energy.
