Muara Angke Fishermen Village is located on North Jakarta, it is surrounded by Java Ocean and the housing complex of Pluit. I visited this village by accident by the way, because last February I did field survey about mini market distribution Pluit house of village. I was surprised! I have never seen such a big fish market.

Muara Angke is very popular among the Jakartans, every time I ask people about Muara Angke they always say "FISH MARKET". Muara Angke is the main resources of Jakarta's fisheries, yup! You can find cheap fishes and the other edible sea creatures here with the reasonable price (a lot of supermarket and seafood restaurant in Jakarta get fish supply from this market).

Selling activity

Squiiidddd

What makes Muara Angke more interesting is the fisherman village. The people who work here such as the seller, the fisherman, the boatman, the labor, etc live in this village. We can find not only fishing-selling activity in this village, but also the salting fish process here.

Unfortunately, I didn't have chance to explore this region further... But, in the next time I hope..
