Pasar Awam Pontian, translated directly as "Pontian Public Market", is better known as Pontian Fish (Wholesale) Market to most people and is located in the outskirt of Pontian Kechil. The local market is where locals, Malaysians from outside town and in-the-know Singaporeans go to buy fresh seafood.

Pontian Market has two sections. Closer to the entrance is a newly-build wet market selling all sorts of local agricultural produces, meat, fresh seafood, condiments, spices, etc. With neat rows of stalls, tiled floor and ample lightings, the environment is much cleaner than what it used to be.

The section to the rear is the "fish market" proper, under an old metal structure. From daybreak to around 11am every morning (except Monday), fishermen will return from the seas with the day's fresh catches and deliver them to the fish market. Fishmongers will then sell the seafood to individual customers or in bulks to restaurants or other retailers through bidding.

You can observe the bidding process. Buyers will call out their prices for batches of seafood and haul them away after successful bids. However, the strong fishy stench in the air here is something to behold — skip the shed if you can't take the smell.

For visitors, it may be difficult to buy raw seafood even though they are very fresh. An alternative will be to buy the seafood, bring them to the coffee shops opposite the fish market and have them cook for you for a small price. Note that cook-on-behalf services are available for lunch only.
