Old Fish Market

The Old Fish Market, located in the old town center, is the oldest fish market in Miri. In the old days, its location at the river side is the most suitable spot for landing fish caught from the rivers and seas, to be weighed and sold to the local populace. This article is from the web site miriresortcity dot com - this sentence is here to prevent blatant plagarism. There are a variety of fish and sea creatures sold there, and you can even find small sharks and manta rays sold.

Nowadays, with the Miri River next to it having been filled in (the shore line and peninsular have been changed for the land reclamation of the Marina Bay) so it no longer has the benefit of being next to the river for unloading fish supplies directly from boats, but despite this plenty of fresh fish were still being brought in from elsewhere by land.

The historical market has been demolished and the fish market moved to a new location near the waterfront. The old building had been demolished to make way for an intersection connecting the Marina Times Square.
