The main food of Bangladeshi Bengalis is fish and rice, so Bengalis are called Bengalis for rice in the month of May. Without fish, Bengalis cannot go a single day. There are numerous rivers, canals, beels, haors, and baors in Bangladesh. During the rainy season, numerous fish are found, including shoal, bowal, rui, katal, taki, puti, tengra, and numerous species of fish in Bangladesh.

✓ Other points that you believe are relevant to mention.
In this fish market, not only domestic fish but also foreign fish are available because Saidpur is a commercial city and foreign fish is sold here for the tourists who come here, and what kind of fish is available in this market, which I think needs to be mentioned.
Sea eel
✓ When shopping at these stores, what do you value most: low prices, cleanliness, or friendly service?
When I go shopping here, I definitely pay attention to cleanliness and their friendly behavior first and foremost and I pay attention to whether the fish is fresh or not. I never pay attention to low prices. You can never get good fish or good quality fish at low prices. I always try to buy clean and fresh fish.
Hilsa fish
✓ How do you consider the prices in this place compared to other establishments in your area?
The price here is a little higher than the prices of other establishments and companies in my area because the price of fish or meat is comparatively lower in the village markets and of course higher in the city markets because all the employed people live in the city. They don't care about the price. They are happy if they get good things. So the price of fish in this market seems a little higher to me.
Fishmonger
✓ How often do you buy meat or fish at this establishment?
I will definitely buy fish from this fish market often because it is very clean and fresh fish is available here and it is convenient to cut the fish. You can just wash it and cook it at home without any hassle of cutting.And it has a special advantage that you can identify as much fish as you need, so I will definitely buy fish from the market frequently.
The fishmonger is cutting and selling fish.
✓What is the payment system like and show a video of the market you observed?
There is no transaction through Bikash or cash in this fish market. Everything is sold in cash here. That means if you want to buy fish here in a handbag, you must take cash to the market. I have observed this fish market and after observing this fish market, I found it quite good. It is the cleanest and freshest fish market in Saidpur.
