Versova

Originally a small fishing village of the Kolis, Versova has now become an upmarket neighbourhood in the north western part of Mumbai. Keeping true to its history, one can still see the boats of the fishermen from the shores of the beach and every morning a busy fish market can be found towards the northern side where these fishermen sell their catch. Once a part of the Portuguese empire, Versova has now become a quaint and cosy residential area filled with local eateries, cafes and pubs. If visiting local markets, exploring small cafes to eat at, sharing a pint of cold beer with your friends and walking along the beach during sunset constitutes your perfect day then this is the place that you need to be at!

Versova Village Fish Market

This market on the beach near the jetty starts at 4:00 pm every day where the day’s catch is auctioned in bulk. The fishermen bring in all the fish from their trawlers directly on to the beach and the Fishmongers then buy from them and sell it to the general populace in the local markets. One can even buy in smaller quantities here as it is much cheaper than other markets. A specialty of the Versova village fish market is the sale of dried fish.
