Le marché aux poissons au Havre (Seafood market at Le Havre)

Le marché aux poissons
Adresse : Quai de l'île, 76600 Le Havre
Opening hrs : everyday, except Sun, from 7 am to 12 noon

This is a row of open-air fish stalls of fishermen who make their living presumably still in the Atlantic Ocean.

We have never tested their opening hours so early nor so late. We usually turn up about 9+ to 10+. Being too late means sometimes that you don't get what is available.

This place is our mecca of seafood. We came by 3 days out of 6, and would have been here everyday, if not for my wife's illness during our stay.


The seafood is very fresh, and sometimes the catch just comes in, as the fish or lobsters are alive and kicking. 


What to buy here

lobster
crab (tourteau)
scallop
turbot
"bar"
mackerel
and other seafood you may fancy

Where to park

There is an open-space paid parking quite near it.
