Review:

The Honiara Central Market is located near the water’s edge of the Iron Bottom Sound to allow fishing boats to pull in and take their catches straight to market. Established in the 1950s, the market serves as the primary place for national internal trading and is one of only two markets that are owned and operated by the Honiara City Council. The market features a permanent covered building and several side booths around the building. Nearly everything is sold here, including flowers, fish, clothing, vegetables, fruits, local crafts, jewelry, and hair tonics. Shell money (strings of polished shell beads) are also sold here, an important currency to these islands.
