Vanagaram Fish Market, Chennai Overview

Home to the largest variety of fish in Chennai, the Vanagaram Fish Market is an all-day wholesale market on the north-eastern outskirts of the city. Open from 6am to 11pm everyday, the market offers various fish and other sea delicacies that are sold fresh.

One cannot find a particular fish being sold for a lower price anywhere else in Chennai. The market also sells popular sea-meats from other parts of India at reasonable prices. 


The market gets extremely busy very early in the day. Regulars suggest that you should aim to shop between 7am and 11am if you want to have your pick and not be a part of a stampede. Sundays are chaotic and avoidable. There is a designated parking lot outside the market.
