Fish Koliwada is named after Koliwada

A machhi market or fish market is usually located near the entrance of the Koliwada locality, or the nearest bus stand or main road. In Mumbai, very few Koli communities can afford to build dedicated market reserved for Koli fisherfolk, and therefore, most fish markets are open for sellers from other communities as well.

Bandar/Port
