In major towns in Viti Levu Island,there is a local market where the vegitables, fruits, and seafood are sold. The one in Nadi Town is a very big market, and bunch of people are coming especially on weekends.
There are peoples who are selling at the booth in a good commercial scale, and are also ladies selling their home products in a rent space on the ground.
It is so active , and as we can get fresh products at cheap price, it may be good for your strolling.




There are small stands even out of the market building.







The Kava, which no body can miss if he comes in Fiji, a speciall drink to be replaced to the alcohol occupies the good space of area.
Things being binded are the roots of Kava tree. They are pounded in powder, and put in a cloth bag to be squeeze out in the water to make a Kava drink.
A box drawn as "Savu Savu Waka" is for pounded powder Kava.
Most of local people buy the roots and pound them everyday at home to get fresh and tasty Kava drink.




These are roots of Kava.




Pounded powder is also sold. (US$15.00 for 1Kg of powder, which is very expensive for Fjians.)










This looks like a mushroom...




This is a famous Dalo potato (Taro).
Boil them to eat. This is the principal food in Fiji, together with Cassava potato.







A pineapple cost less than a Dollar (US), which is really cheap.
You can even cut in a half to give it a bite and throw it away? It is delicious.







Dalo (Taro).







Sweet potato.




Ginger.




This is call a chili. Very hot. This is an essential material for cooking here.




Eggplant in a strange shape.




Oh, this is a regular eggplant.










Coconut.




Okra.




Red pepper.







This is very hot, too.




Tomato.







Cabage and peanut.




Pumpkin can not be as soft as one in Japan even after cooking for a long time.

Lettuce is not in a ball shape.




Japanese radish is rarely seen here, but once in a year it comes, (Chinese people living here seem to cultivate it.)







Zucchini.




Green peper.




Bok choy?




Super sour fruit! I forget the name...







Indian people are selling many curry spices , eggs, potatos and onions in a booth.







Once in a while, grapes are found.










This ugly one is a lemon! But the taste is very good.







Very long common bean.




Fish salesroom is extremely ill-smelling!
There is no cooling system, and no ice etither. Just leave fish on the counter.
Can't eat them in raw (Sashimi).
















In comparison with the fish available in Japna, they all are very grotesque, and no appetite arises.
None of them are fresh. (including the way they keep it.)










Oh, No!







Wemen are selling crabs and sea shells on the ground. These crabs seem to be caught in a river, and taste muddy and no delicious at all.







They all are alive.










Eel (conger?) is also availabe. Ate it cooking with soy source, and the taste was nice although they have a little bit nasty smell.










Sea grapes. Eat them with coconut milk. It is good.




Oh, what is this?







Boild octoupus is one of the favorite food for a Japanes, but this one looks so bat. No way to buy it.
