Stone Town Zanzibar & the Forodhani Market

One of the most fascinating destinations in Africa is the exotic seaport of Stonetown on the idyllic island of Zanzibar. Historically significant, Stonetown is vibrant mix of architectural and cultural influences such as arabic, indian, african and european. With out a doubt the best seafood experience weve ever had was at the Forodhani Garden. The garden has a carnival-like atmosphere with a frenzy of people buying and selling food and curios to the light of gas lamps and flaming woks. There are stacks of kingfish, tuna, barracuda, white shark, red snapper, blue marlin, small prawns, large prawns, lobster, mussels, and clams all on kabobs. Behind the kabobs are piles of crab claws, calamari, octopus tentacles, cassava, breadfruit, falafel, fried potatos, salad, nan bread, and chapatti. Forodhani is definitely the best and the cheapest seafood anywhere.
