Sea foods
Seafood is any form of sea life regarded as food by humans. Seafood prominently includes fish and shellfish. Shellfish include various species of molluscs, crustaceans, and echinoderms. Historically, sea mammals such as whales and dolphins have been consumed as food, though that happens to a lesser extent in modern times. Edible sea plants, such as some seaweeds and microalgae, are widely eaten as seafood around the world, especially in Asia (see the category of sea vegetables). In North America, although not generally in the United Kingdom, the term "seafood" is extended to fresh water organisms eaten by humans, so all edible aquatic lifemay be referred to as seafood.
Negombo Fish Market
Meet Sanota Walkers Guide & visit the Negombo Fish Market is interesting because it takes place right on the beach, fresh from fishing boats. Crowds of fishermen are seen untangling their fishing nets, playing with their kids, and stretching out miles of fish to dry in the sun on Negombo's shore.
St.Mary's church
St. Mary's is Negombo's best known church and is one of the biggest attractions on the island. It is about 140 years old and has got amazing religious depictions painted all across its ceiling.
Muthurajawela Marsh Nature Reserve Negombo Lagoon
The marsh is in the part set aside for wildlife; it's mostly a huge, shallow lake with inlets and islands. It links the river and the sea, making the water brackish and the birdlife abundant. Up the river a bit are mangrove forests, home to monkeys and estuary crocodiles. You can only get around by boat.

We had a fantastic time exploring the local fish market, where the vibrant colors and enthusiastic vendors made for a lively experience. The lagoon safari was a family favorite, as we spotted fascinating wildlife while gliding through the serene waters. Afterward, we indulged in a delicious seafood feast at a nearby beach, but we wish we had a bit more time to relax and enjoy the ocean views.

Our day in Negombo was filled with laughter and adventure, especially during the lively visit to the fish market where we got to see all the vibrant catches of the day. The lagoon safari was surprisingly tranquil, allowing us to appreciate the stunning natural beauty while spotting unique wildlife along the way. Beach time afterward was the perfect way to unwind, with crystal-clear waters inviting us to splash around and soak up the sun. One small improvement would be to allow a bit more time at the market, as we could have easily spent longer chatting with the local fishermen. Overall, it was a thrilling day of seafood exploration, and we left with our hearts full and our appetites satisfied!
