If you are planning a Digha trip or curious about buying and carrying fresh fish from Digha, this blog will give you a real and useful idea based on our personal experience.
Starting the Day at New Digha Beach 🌊
Our day began with a calm morning at New Digha beach. The fresh air, soft waves, and peaceful surroundings made it a perfect start before heading into a more active part of the day.
Morning time at Digha always feels different — less crowded, more relaxed, and ideal for enjoying the natural beauty.

The food was simple, affordable, and perfect for starting the day. For anyone planning a budget Digha trip, this place is a good option for quick and satisfying meals.
👉 Local canteens like this help keep your travel cost under control.
Visit to Digha Mohana Fish Market 🐟
One of the main highlights of this part was visiting the famous Digha Mohana Fish Market.
This place is very popular among travelers and locals who want to buy fresh seafood directly from fishermen.
What You Can Find Here:
- Fresh Hilsa (Ilish)

- Pomfret
- Various local sea fish
The market is lively, busy, and full of energy. You can see real fish trading happening, which makes it a unique experience compared to regular markets.
Fish Prices & Buying Experience
We explored different stalls and checked the latest fish prices.
Prices can vary depending on:

- Size of fish
- Market demand
👉 Tip: If you are planning to buy fish, try to visit early in the day for better options.
Buying fish directly from the market can be more affordable compared to city prices, making it a good option for travelers.
Fish Packing for Long Distance Travel 📦
One of the most useful parts of this experience was learning how to carry fish safely during a long journey.
Packing Method Used:
- Thermocol box
- Ice for cooling
- Proper sealing
This method helps keep the fish fresh for long distances (around 250 KM / 7–8 hours).
👉 If you are traveling back home after your Digha trip, this is the best way to carry fish safely.
Digha Mohana Beach & Fishing Boats 🚤
Near the fish market, we also explored Digha Mohana Beach, where you can see fishing boats and local fishermen at work.
The view is completely different from tourist beaches — more raw and real. It gives you a glimpse of the local lifestyle and how the fishing community works.
