Stone Town, the historical center of Zanzibar, is home to the Darajani Bazaar, a huge marketplace selling vegetables, spices, dried goods, meat, and seafood. While largely outdoor, there is a smallish central building, built in the early 1900s and un-airconditioned, featuring meat and seafood.

Meat and Seafood Market. First-time Visitors tip: come here early in the day. The smell is tolerable then.
