Fish Market: The Visserskaai

    A stroll alongside the 'Visserskaai' is really a must. When coming from the railway station you turn to the right and you can first of all see the fisher-boats that wait here before their next trip begins. The most important part is the 'Vismijn' (Fish-mine), a large fish market, where early in the morning the fresh North-Sea fish is sold to the fish retailers. They sell the fish on to the restaurants all over Belgium.
    Of course you can also find some nice fish restaurants along the Visserskaai.

    On the eastern edge of town along the waterfront, you'll find a number of stalls set up selling all manner of seafood scooped fresh from the North Sea. You can buy inexpensive sample sizes of various types of seafood snacks or just admire the items on display.

    Just outside of town you will find the fish market. Here the fishing fleet of Ostend hold their fish auctions. Certainly worth a visit.

    Fishermen's quay - 'De Trap '
    When you come to Ostend you must visit the Fishermen’s Quay. In the morning you can attend the homecoming of the shrimping boats. This is the best place to go to if you want to learn the dialect of Ostend .. The most delicious shrimps and many other kinds of fish are offered for sale in typical fish stands. Along the quay many stands sell lots of seafood

    The skins decorate the stalls selling the wonderfully fresh seafood dishes.

    A little freaky at first glance

    Here the fishing fleet of Ostend hold their fish auctions. Certainly worth a visit.
    Still today, fish is omnipresent in Oostende and one of the best reasons
    for a visit if your a fan of fresh seafood . Of course, there are the
    numerous restaurants dotted all along the seafront serving
    delicious fish meals on the menu .
    You can spend 3 to 6 euros for a very tasty fresh snack from a few of the fish stalls.
    As I write this, there is the movie The Perfect Storm on the TV, TCM,
    I vow never to become a fisherman!
