Psar Prahoc - something unique to do in Battambang

If you are in Battambang, try doing something unusually fishy. By fishy I mean go see how they process and preserve fish into salted fish and fish paste. The location of this attraction (if your curiosity can override the smell) is Psar Prahoc (or Prahok), which is near the bridge over Sanker River.

Ladies clearing fishes to make dried or salted fish.

Dried fish in racks at Psar Prahoc.

Here you can see how the locals gut and clean the fish, and lay them on racks to dry as well as brine and ferment them in big drums to make fermented fish paste. Very photogenic site, as long as you don't mind the smell and the wet floor in the fish processing area.
