In the capital Male is the market with vegetables and fruits, and even more interesting fish market, where the fishermen bring all possible species of fish from the area from Marlin to the barracuda. After leaving the boats have to go along the coast about 10 minutes. Fish is already visible on the outside of the hall, but more species... More
