Description
I took these beautiful fresh fish at the wet markets in East Singapore. I love the markets especially the fresh markets of noise, trading as the local people do their every day living.
In Singapore, traditional market is called wet market because the markets’ floors are often wet. They are wet due to the fact that people use water to clean the floors after washing vegetables or cleaning fish. But actually, a typical wet market is not totally wet. There are two sections in each wet market – the wet area and the dry area. Products such as meat, poultry and fish are placed at the wet section while dry area is where herbs, spices, grain, beans, dried noodles and dried seafood are sold.
Most of the wet markets open at 04:00 and close around noon. So the best time to explore Singapore’s wet markets is in the early morning as that is when the fresh produce is at its best.
