There will be a total of 214 stalls which include the whole section (43), cutting section (72), retail section (91) and dry fish section (8).

The cellar floor will be for parking, the ground floor will have a wholesale section, ice flake machine and cold storage room. The first floor will have a cutting section and retail section and the second floor will have a dry fish section with a canteen. Speaking on the occasion, the Minister said that apart from clean environs, the customers would have the benefit of getting a variety of seafood at reasonable price at one place compared to private retail outlets.
