Embarking on a culinary adventure in Cox's Bazar, we immersed ourselves in the coastal city's vibrant seafood scene. Despite Bangladesh's notoriety for its freshwater cuisine, coastal regions like Cox's Bazar offer a tantalizing array of seafood delicacies that beckon both locals and tourists alike.

Our journey led us to Sugondha Beach Seafood Market, a bustling hub of maritime flavors nestled along the shore. Here, the sights and sounds of the sea blend harmoniously with the aromas of fresh catches being prepared in open-air stalls. From crab to prawn, squid to octopus, and different kinds of fish; the market boasts a diverse selection of seafood, each awaiting eager palates.

As we perused the market, we were greeted by rows of stalls adorned with showcases displaying the day's catch. The seafood, sourced directly from the nearby waters, exuded freshness and quality.

Prices varied according to size and variety, offering options to suit every budget. Despite the humble setting, the market's ambiance resonated with the vibrancy of coastal life.

Opting to sample the local favorite, we selected tiger crabs from one of the stalls. Handpicked from the shelf, the crabs were promptly prepared before our eyes.

While the customary deep-fried method was popular among vendors, we yearned for more diverse cooking styles to fully savor the natural flavors of the seafood. Nevertheless, the freshness of the crab meat delighted our taste buds, leaving a lasting impression of Cox's Bazar's culinary prowess.

We also indulged in freshly prepared fried shrimp sticks during our culinary adventure. Bursting with freshness, they delighted our taste buds with their savory flavor and crispy texture, leaving us craving more of this delectable seafood delight.

At an affordable price of 250 taka ($2.5) per crab, and 50 taka ($.50) per shrimp stick, the market offered an accessible indulgence for seafood enthusiasts. Despite its rustic charm, the open-air setting provided a picturesque backdrop for our gastronomic exploration, allowing us to soak in the coastal ambiance as we dined.

As we ventured further into the market, we discovered a myriad of seafood stalls, each with its unique offerings and specialties. From succulent prawns to tender squid, the variety was abundant, promising something for every palate.

While the market may appear uniform at first glance, a closer inspection reveals the diversity of flavors and experiences waiting to be savored.


While there are numerous seafood options available across the beach city, Sugondha Beach Point stands out as the most affordable and delightful choice for indulging in delectable seafood delights.

Our seafood escapade in Cox's Bazar was not just a culinary journey but a cultural immersion into the coastal way of life.

As we bid farewell to the market, our hearts and stomachs full, we carried with us memories of a culinary adventure unlike any other.

I really love seafoods, especially crab but it's been a long time I had crab, plus it's really expensive too. The taste, when prepared properly is heavenly and can make one crave for more. Lovely pictures btw.

Wow, those look really fresh and delicious. The price is really cheap for the quality as well. We have wet markets in the Philippines as well, and there are usually restaurants near them. One can choose the seafood and have them cooked in the restaurants for a fee. They taste really delicious.
