I invite all my Steemit friends to the first week of the 29th season of the Steemit Learning Challenge competition. For the second week of the competition our beloved Challengers have brought us a great topic. "SLC29-W2" // "The Gastronomic Shopping Route" - Butcher or Fishmonger. In the second week of the competition, We will explore fish and meat shops, which are involved in our daily lives and are very important.

Today I will review the biggest fish market located in Rajshahi city. This is a big fish market located in Saheb Bazar of Rajshahi where different types of fish are supplied. Rajshahi residents buy different types of fish in this market at retail and wholesale prices. Fish sellers also buy fish from this market at wholesale prices, to sell in small markets. It is known as a very popular fish market for Rajshahi residents.

This fish market has a large supply of fish that I like very much. Many species of small and large fish are available here.

I live in Bangladesh and I am a Bengali. There is a proverb that says, "Bengalis are Bengalis with fish and rice."The main food of Bengalis is rice and fish. Fish fulfills the need for meat in our daily diet. I often come here to buy fish, at least twice a week. Fresh formalin-free fish is available here at an affordable price. Also, it is a big fish market, after reviewing several fish, I can buy my favorite fish from here, so I come to this fish market at least twice a week to buy fish.
