Kep crab market<\/span><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Along the riverfront from Kampot is Kep\u2019s crab market, a popular spot for locals and travelers alike. As a riverside destination, you won\u2019t be disappointed with the array of seafood on offer. Although open all day until late evening, it\u2019s best to go when it opens from 9am, to get the best selection of crabs, lobster, fish, squid and more caught that same morning. It\u2019s the freshest seafood you can get, and you can get a good price and sit and eat it right within the market. An unmissable experience in the area.<\/span><\/p>\n
