Fish is the main and favorite food of West Bengal.

We nearly spent an hour in the market (which I never thought I would do it )… This was my first experience inside any fish market. All though I was little hesitating to get inside the place, the market looked very interesting (expect for the stench) & it was full of action.

Vendors were selling all sizes and varieties of fresh fishes. Manicktala is famous for fishes but they were also selling eggs, chicken, meat & live fishes. The huge different knifes which they used to cut the fishes were really attractive. The whole market was lit by spotlights & bulbs, lighting was very appealing, most of the bulbs were made by capsizing shiny paper plates on top of the bulbs & focus of the bulbs was just on the fish and nothing else.
