The fish market at the Fagatogo market place is opened for business.

The market has been closed for several months after the first operator, the governor’s brother, Fuega Moliga, left citing that he was losing money on the venture,

Then the Department of Commerce put out a request for proposals to find a new operator or tenant.

Tautai Fishing and Longline Association was selected as the winning bidder however it later rescinded its offer.

It’s not known if DOC is taking over the fish market on an interim basis.

Local alia fishermen bring their fresh fish catches to the market to sell, according to Tony Langkilde of the Department of Commerce.

He said the fish market will soon be open from morning till evening for as long as the fresh fish is available.
