Kado Fish Market (AMML1008)
The Kado Fish Market is a highly specialized and vital commercial center in Abuja, recognized as the central hub for fresh, frozen, and smoked fish and seafood products in the Federal Capital Territory. Located in the Kado district, this market is not just a local shopping spot but functions as a major distribution point, serving individual consumers, restaurant owners, caterers, and bulk buyers who travel from neighboring states for wholesale purchases. The market's infrastructure is tailored to the fishing industry, featuring critical amenities like cold rooms for preservation, which are essential for maintaining the quality and supply of perishable goods.
The market's specialization is segmented into several key operational areas: dedicated sections for fresh fish, frozen fish, and smoked fish, along with areas for dealers who receive large consignments directly from fish farmers and suppliers across Nigeria. Beyond the primary focus on fish, the market also includes vendors who sell frozen poultry and other related food items, making it a comprehensive frozen food center. The diverse offerings and competitive bulk pricing cement its reputation as the cheapest and most reliable source for these products in Abuja.
Managed with a specific focus on hygiene and organization, the Kado Fish Market’s administration emphasizes strict sanitation and waste management protocols, which are paramount given the nature of the products sold. Its continuous operation ensures a steady supply of seafood to the city's inhabitants, solidifying its status as an indispensable component of Abuja's food economy and one of the largest fish distribution centers in the northern region of Nigeria.
