Sassoon Dock

A Wonderful place to visit in South Bombay and One time experience of visiting one of the largest fishing market in Mumbai. Beautiful street Art fishing boats are the main attraction of the place

Fresh seafood galore: You’ll find super-fresh fish and shellfish directly from the boats — great if you’re buying early morning. Wanderlog Authentic local experience: Lots of action, colourful fisherfolk, bargaining, and real Mumbai hustle you don’t see in malls or restaurants. Lonely Planet Photography & culture: The place is busy, vibrant, and often featured in street photos and culture projects (like the art murals nearby at Sassoon Dock Art Project). SceneLoc8

If you're up for exploring the place and have some pics then you'll find this place boring. I visited in morning 7am and nothing was there which could make me feel lively there. You can definitely get some good fresh seafood. This place stinks so bad and quite unhygienic.

A must visit place to understand and see real life of Market and Fisheries

Worth visitng as long as you can stomach the stench of fish that was so strong it stays in your clothes. Came before sunrise to photograph and for that, it over delivers. Having witnessed the morning I was not motivated to eat any fish whilst in Mumbai.

It is a great place to get lost in Indian fishing culture; we loved the authenticity we found there. A must-visit during your Mumbai stay if you have a chance to get a local guide to walk you around and tell you the history; you'll reward yourself with a much better experience. The whole area gives you a taste of Indian heritage

One of the best place for the fish lover. From prawns to sword fish you will get varieties of fish here. There are auctions also for fish baskets which happen between 4.00 to 5.30 (only if you want it in a bulk quantity). I visited this place on Sunday at 5.30 but still there are a lot of rush. Remember one this if you want to negotiate, do the cold negotiation by showing your fingers (if you want it for ₹400 then show 4 fingers) that way they will give you without letting the price to others. Sunrise here is also amazing 🤩. Must visit this place.
