Before surfers adopted Weligama for its waves, it was a quaint, typically southern-Sri Lankan fishing village. This experience takes you to the bustle of Weligama's local fish market in the company of one of Cape Weligama's chefs. Learn about the various types of fish on offer - especially local favourites that comprise their daily diet - as well as what type of fish best suit your favourite method of preparation and flavours.
THINGS TO NOTE
- Guests are advised to inform their curator and confirm by afternoon, the day prior to the experience or at the point of making the room reservation.
