    25 years ago I spent a few years travelling in Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and the Philippines. I was on a beach in Koh Tao and an old woman came up to me. She had a bamboo pole over her shoulder and hung on one end was a polystyrene box and on the other end was a metal pan. She asked me if I was hungry in very broken English and if I wanted seafood bbq. I said yes and got up to look in the box. There was nothing in the box except some bottles. I laughed and shrugged my shoulders as if to say you’re being funny. She cackled and put her hand on my shoulder and said “you relax” and made me sit down. Then she just walked into the sea! Four or five minutes later she appeared with two prawns about the size of my forearm and a massive lobster. Then she disappeared again and returned with some firewood and for the next 30 minutes I watched her set a fire in the metal pan and she cooked the seafood and prepared it all with the oils in the bottles. She then sat cackling and laughing at me as I devoured and slobbered my way through the best meal I’ve ever had in my life!!
    When I finally finished she asked for the equivalent of $2 and I gave her $10!
    The only sad part was that I never saw her again but I’ll never forget her for as long as I live!

      The rural areas could be better, honestly.
      It really depends on the population density. If there aren't too many people, nature can be pretty good about dealing with the waste quickly and cleanly. The problem with markets like this is that a ton of trash gets piled up, and the usual scavengers can't get rid of them because humans consider them pests.
      You go to a rural area where there's not too much trash being generated in the first place, and wild animals can get in to deal with the junk, it'll probably at least smell a lot better.

    I dont know to which fish market you went to but you need to go to the main sea food market in denpasar and you need to be there at 3-4 am. This is when you wanna buy, straight when it comes from the fishermen. After lunch time their goods have been hanging out a while and the ice has melted, like you guys said as well there was nyepi the day before. Best way to get fresh fish overall, if you didnt buy it straight off the fishermen/at the market in the morning, is to get it from a local supplier who sources and keeps a proper cold chain a.k.a a local firm.

    I was on Diego Garcia in the early 80’s. We would catch *HUGE* parrot fish, easily 3+ times the size of Sonny’s fish. They were awesome! Huge beautiful fillets.. Some of the more brave, or foolish, guys would dive the reef at nite for monster lobsters. The area hadn’t been commercially fished and we weren’t supposed to be ocean side so the fish were huge and not afraid. The lobster tails were so big we’d slice them into lobster tail steaks and throw them on the grill. Our barracks grill was going around the clock with our Hawaiian and Filipino sailors cooking some great food.

    Yeah, Bali is not a place to go for seafood. I was surprised that the Balinese don't really eat seafood, and when I enquired about it I was told that there are socio-religious aspects to it- threats always came from the sea, it is easy to get sick from it, and there is some relationship between the elevation of a Balinese temple and it's holiness (the underwater pura whose name escapes me being the least holy, followed by sea temples like Uluwatu, all the way up to the most holy which were the mountain temples like Besakih) which bleeds into the people's perception of seafood. I can't vouch for the accuracy of that however.

The "live" seafood that came out the kitchen was funky and not fresh. It wasn't flaky like crabs I've prepared fresh myself. I don't doubt it's a common strategy there. So it's a win for these small smoke houses, they prepare it in front of you. A lil too close to the rubbish but it looks decent and your food is guaranteed it's the one you got.
