Sassoon Docks Crazy Fish Market

Sassoon Docks, one of Mumbai’s oldest and most vibrant fish markets, offers a raw and colorful glimpse into the city’s daily life. Arrive early morning to see fishermen unload their fresh catch, while the air buzzes with bargaining and energy. Brightly dressed Koli women, Mumbai’s original fisherfolk, add character to the scene. It’s a sensory overload of sights, sounds, and smells, making it a must-visit for photographers and travelers seeking an authentic slice of Mumbai.

About One Hour Tourist

I’ve been fortunate to travel extensively and often much of this has been work related where time has been limited. I learnt quickly to find ways to squeeze in an hour here and there to make sure I always got to see something new.

Life’s too short and there is so much to see so don’t be one the folks sitting in the lounge at the hotel or airport.
