As a Bengali in Chennai, one of my first endeavors was to find out where fresh water fish is sold. Of course if you are looking for sea fish you can plop on to any market or sea side shack. Besant Nagar beach has a thriving bustling fish market. But fresh water fish still comes from Andhra Pradesh and is not readily available.
Adyar has a fresh fish stall, very clean and well maintained, with a resident kitten. So sweet. They have the Bengali favourites like Rui, Katla, Pomfret and Prawns, apart from sardines, parshe and all shapes and sizes of fishes otherwise. They also have the eternal favourtie Ilish sometimes.
The location of the fish stall is on LB Road, near the Murugan Stores and Telephone Exchange. The prices are not high. In fact sometimes it is cheaper than Kolkata prices, which is logical as Kolkata also gets fish from Andhra and its a lot farther than Chennai is.
