The harbor was full of activity as creatures from the depths were read, including tunas, crabs, lobsters, sharks and rays. While not for the anxious or weak-hearted, you can certainly learn how these fish are classified, sold and distributed at all levels, and it was truly a fascinating experience and a brilliant opportunity to take pictures.
While staying at the wonderful Villa Apsara on the outskirts of Bentota on my recent trip to Sri Lanka, I took a trip to the local fishing port with a real sense of excitement and anticipation.
During the early morning, just when night catches arrive, Beruwela Fish Harbor is so energetic, full of life and rarely visited by other foreign tourists; making it a complete fascinating experience. While watching the unloading of the boats, I was taken aback by the feeling of emotion in the air. There were ships of all shapes, sizes and colors, and some seemed to have been in the sea for months and months!
Sri Lanka is known for its large amount of deep sea fishing as it is often said that a man can simply throw his net and immediately throw it back with fish of all species. For this reason, many people travel on vacation to Sri Lanka just to participate in the amazing deep sea fishing. The Indian Ocean, which surrounds Bentota, is rich in tuna, catfish, red and white snappers, barracuda, sharks, groupings and the impressive Wahoo that makes a morning of deep sea fishing an amazing experience. Yes, or may I say, when you catch your catch, the fishermen will also clean your fish and give you the opportunity to take it back to enjoy it for dinner, where even the chef at our Bentota hotel prepared it for us or you can simply leave Send it to market.
In the off-season, Fishing Tour in the lagoon is a great experience. Taking place in the quieter water at the edge of the estuary, you have the opportunity to catch mangrove cats, snappers, mules and catfish. So whatever the season, there is a lot to do throughout the year.
