FISH MARKET

The Awassa fish market, 1 km south of the Lewi Resort, is held every morning from 6.30 am. In this auction port, fishermen negotiate their night's catch, mainly tilapia and catfish, fish that testify to the richness of the lake's waters. In addition to the buyers, the boats bring with them countless hungry birds, including the inevitable marabouts, always ready to collect their pittance without the slightest effort. Monday and Thursday are market days in town.
