It was my first time visiting Sasson Dock, and trust me it was a whole new experience. The life of a fisherman is not easy. Climate change is impacting fishermen big time as the fishes are moving away and it is becoming more and more difficult for them to catch good quality fish.this year the harvest of Sea Parana has increased, these fishes eats all the big fishes and hence leading fishes to migrate.
If you want to buy fish in bulk then this is the place. Must reach here early by 5 A.M. or 6 A.M. One must have a slightest knowledge about selecting the fishes or can be easily fooled. And always bargain. Never buy at the amount they are offering. Try negotiating and the amount of the fish depends upon your own skills.
Sassoon Dock is a famous Navy Nagar area of South Mumbai. Over here ships board to various regions of coastal of Mumbai harbour. This dock was built by Albert Sassoon in 1875 when it was East India company ruled this area. Today it is one of the largest fush market of Mumbai and colaba in particular of South Mumbai. There is an Oyster island available next to dock which belongs to Navy. The area is known for two things today- fish market and various art and graffiti which is depicted in and around Sassoon Dock. Do visit and enjoy this beautiful outdoor place yourself ❤️
Good place to buy fish. Be early. Some bits of adulteration take place to give the fish gills the red colour. Do not go around major holidays, no fish comes in. Its much cheaper than buying it at the door step and mostly fresher.
Good to buy wholesale fish.. need to be really good in bargaining.. do visit from 4am..
Fishes, all size n shape. Best place for a fresh catch.
Best fish u can get here
The place of amazingly always available fresh fish.Opens a little before 5am, where fish is unloaded of the many Koli fishing boats that dock here.Fish are first auctioned at break neck speed in Marathi. If you are buying large quantities then this is the place to be.If you are buying smaller quantities either come as a group or wait until the Koli ladies start their stalls around 7am onwards.All fish sold here inside the dock are 100% fresh.The variety of fish is unmatched to any other dock in Mumbai.It can get crowded very fast, and you will definitely get covered in fish water, so wear something old . It can get mucky, so please wear safe footwear.Parking is not available inside the docks. Mostly cargo vehicles fill every spot.A great place to visit for a truly different Mumbai experience.
Great place to buy fish the most fresh at the cheapest price. Go in the morning around 4-5 to get the best deals
Fresh fishes available but bargain at correct price is most IMP thing here.
You will get the best quality and affordable fishes at Sassoon dock. Fishes are available at cheaper rates if you buy them in bulk. Fishes like pompret, prawns, bombay duck, etc, are the best. The early you visit the best rates you will get.Do contact me if you want to buy fresh and affordable fishes.
I like to visit this place to see different type of fishes
One of the famous fishing yard in colaba area for buying fishes in wholesale rate. One can buy fishes at very reasonable rate if reaching before 7am.
If youre a fisherman, youll love this place. If youre shooting a film about a fisherman, youll love this place. But if youre neither, then you have no business here. It is one of the fishiest smelling places ever. So if you cant stomach that, avoid it. If you can however, it is nice to walk around watching fishermen darn their nets, women cleaning shrimps and cats licking their lips.
Is one of the largest fishing port in Mumbai, Maharashtra and very famous place to buy different types of fresh fishes in wholesale and retail.The port auction of fishes brought in by fishermen by their small and big fishing trollers or ships begins early morning at about 4-5 am.One can also buy fish in retail.Caution: Beware of pickpocketing and if you cannot spend time in overcrowded fish stinking place this is not not for you.The small shops around also offer fish at cheaper prices but these are not fresh but frozen.
Fishmen are more clever than you people. Beware of getting ripped off for a huge sum.Also take good care of ur stuff in crowd. Fish are cheaper at bhau ka dhakka
We didnt go there to buy fish, but just to look around. It was early morning and very crowded with people selling and buying fish. Fish was getting unloaded from fishing boats. People were knitting fish nets. I liked the crowd as well as the calmness when you go near the sea. Nice view. Nice graffities. And we met some nice people.
Nice place for Fish lovers. But need to go there early [email protected] am.you can get each and every types of fish.
Great place to buy fish in bulk. Fresh fish at a reasonable price.
Best place for fresh fish . If u are fish lover go there . If u have food service business and u are serving sea food then u should go there to buy fresh fish then very reasonable rate . Sometimes people there sell old fish with fresh fish so check it while u buying fish . If u have good bargeing skill then u can get fish at very low cost . Do bargeing for low rate of fish because fish seller tell u any cost so u should have to do bargeing .
Its very busy holesale seafood markets.
Great place to buy seafood stuffAll you need is to have a great bargaining skills and knowledge of goog sea food stuffs.!!
Its amazing to see such a big fish market.Buying a fish here is a big task as u should be a good bargainer n u should have little knowledge about fish n market rates..Rest is as good as going to a fish paradise..
It was a beautiful experience. Despite the bustle around, there was immense serenity. Best time to visit for buying fish is 5 am to 9 am.
Good place to buy fresh fish. Remember to bargain before buying.
Youll see a wide variety of fish early morning . Hustle and bustle, hoots and shouts . No place to stand . Youd better be moving . Theres smell of fish. Very interesting place to visit at sunrise . Try not to disturb the folk , they are too busy . Dress to blend , no fancy clothes. A short 30 mins or less will be enough. Not a tourist spot. Dont expect to be entertained. You could find tea or snack stalls outside the dock
Its nice place to see fresh SEA Fish.You can also start working here
One of the best place in Mumbai for lots of variety of fishes.Prices are also very reasonable and there is huge variety of fishes available here.
Went to this place after reading the reviews, heard this place being good for fresh fish and all. Arrived sasson dock at 5:45am. But to my DISAPPOINTMENT 😞...the fish were not fresh at all. Frozen and cold stored fish heaped with crushed ice. Super expensive 😫even after bargain. The quality of fish was not good. Also could not see much variety just the usual that u see at any big fish market. Probably not the season or Due to COVID-19. Cost of some fish they sell.... Pomfret Big size-4 Pcs they ask 2000(after bargain 1500), Halwa Medium size 3Pcs they ask 1500(after bargain 1100). Small fingure size white prawns Big basket approx 8kgs 🧺 they ask 3000(after bargain 2000) Surmai aprox 1.3kg ea they ask 1000 (after bargain 800) Crabs 🦀 Male medium size-400/kg Female 350/kg, Pala(Hilsa) cold store aprpx 1.3kgs for 700-800 after bargain. I reccomend what ever price they ask just reduce price by 30-40% and bargain. Donot show them your interest just walk away. Please note the above experience is based on my visit on 28th July 2021.
Lovely place but fish smell 😖
You can buy all type seasonal fish
Awesome old BritishRaj port. Must visit for exclusive fisheries.
One of the few docks open for the public, this place is a heaven for Sea Fish lovers. You get a fresh catch like Prawns, Crabs, Lobster, Pomfrets etc at throw away prices. Ideally should visit the place early in the morning. You should surely negotiate to get the best deal. Carry your own bags or possibly polythene bags shall suffice.
Not much crowd nowadays. Will get fresh fish.
No. Way of dirt water is pass away.. Huge crowded nd slum area
Want good quality fresh and cheap seafood, this is the place you shd be.
Safe to say Im never eating fish now.
Gr8 place to visit for fish seller experience a night buiness place to see how the people were struggling in mumbai life
You get mostly all types of fish... Best time to visit is around 5 am to 7 am. You need to literally go home & bathe after the visit..

Good place to buy quantity fish
I love it very calm place 💝🥰💝🥰💝
I went here after hearing about the art project in which artist of Mumbai have painted this 140 year old dock into something very photogenic. This place is used for docking of fishermen boats and supply of fishes in huge quantities, due to this its really smelly.The graffitis here are really artistic but most of the art pieces are inside the building which currently closed for general Public.Overall its a good place for photographers.
Nice experience,awesome graffiti on some building.If you dont like crowd then just avoid going there.
Awesome fishing hub. Great place to buy fresh sea food straight of the fishing vessels every morning !!!!!
One of the largest fish market in India, it works only at morning time.
As authentic as it gets...From time to time it serves as a site for modern art exhibitions
This place is very basic fish market and first sell of points after fish catch. It offers you fish on good rates provided you are a great barganer. Its usually a crowded in early morning till 8 am.Do visit if you are a fish lover. BUT YOU WONT GET PARKING HERE.
This fish name is mandeli small fish par kg 100
Good for sell and purchase fish
If you are a seafood lover and want great deal of fish and sea food its a place you have to be. But make sure you go in group of 3 or four wherein you can purchase fish/ prawns/ crabs and divide among yourself. But make sure you go early in the morning.
