Seafood in Kochi

Cochin or Kochi is famous for its spices and food from the times it was discovered by Vasco da Gama. Fort Cochin is also known as old Kochi and is well known to everyone, but other than the Chinese nets one see, the local food joints are my favorite. When the sun goes down there is a different world that comes to life, street food.  While you walk through the beach and small shops one will not miss the shops selling fresh seafood adjacent to the Chinese nets. One can buy fish, shrimps, mussels, etc from fish stall and opposite to these there are small stalls where they cook it the way you want it, while you relax on the candle light table arranged on the beach. Even though illegal, they even serve a cold beer or a drink of your choice at request and special price. One can enjoy the extraordinary five star experience of fresh seafood, drink, and ambiance at a low cost.
