The fishing port of Le Vauclin is Martinique's largest fishing port. In this town, nearly 500 people earn their living from fishing. Around a hundred fishermen land nearly 200 tons of fish and shellfish there every year.
You can sample local species such as carp, coulirou, trevally, sea bream, tuna, and, more occasionally, lobsters, chatrous, and conch.
The fishermen sell their catch to both the island's restaurants and private individuals, many of whom come to buy directly from the port. To buy fresh fish, it is advisable to go to the quays at the end of the morning (between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m.) or at the end of the day, in the early evening (between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m.).
Nearby, there is also a market selling freshly caught fish, shellfish, and a wide selection of local vegetables.
To get there, head towards the village of Le Vauclin, then follow the signs to the port.
