Admire the curved-upward prows of traditional, seagoing Buginese boats called phinisis at this atmospheric port in the northern part of Ujung Pandang. The harbor is bustling from daybreak to midmorning, and that’s of course the best time to visit. Head to the docks to see all manner of fish and crustacean being sold, as flopping fresh as they come. A few streets south, more of the same goes on at one of the biggest seafood markets in Indonesia.
