There is also the fish market in Lorient right before the hill to Camaruche. Hours are irregular. It seems to open whenever the fishermen have something to sell so it could be the middle of the day. Every time I drive by I look over to see if anything is happening. Haven't been on the island in 2 1/2 years but there was then Meat My Fish on the road towards Point Milou.

there are tons of threads on the forum related to this, but you may want to exercise caution regarding which fishes you purchase. especially from the Lorient monger.
the brightly colored reef fishes may be linked to ciguatera poisoning. whereas, you should be safe with the bluewater species.

I have only been there once and spoke with a woman (not the fisherman). She made it sound like what they had for public offering would be coming from a freezer. Fish market is Gustavia is the best bet. They have been showing some nice looking tuna lately and Mahi (dourade) is normally on offer.

from JQ's FB this morning:
Coulirou frais a la Tourmente et Mini mart
"à la Tourmente" . . . does Jérémy set up a stand at the Col, or what does this mean ?

Specially when Coulirous are loaded, the fishermen parks at la Tourmente to sell the fishes..

yes fried and eaten in their entirety heads and all but you have to clean them first (gut them, as it were)...
