The most entertaining way to eat seafood on the island. You weigh out live crab, prawns, squid and clams at the market stalls, carry the bag next door to a paluto kitchen, and just say how you want it: butter garlic, chilli, grilled. The alleys smell of fish and charcoal smoke, so don't expect polish, but the same money buys far more than at a resort restaurant. Confirmed operating as of September 2026.
