‘Pulau Ketam’ or
Crab Island is a picturesque coastal fishing village built on stilts. It is
located about 50 kilometers from Kuala Lumpur. It is blessed with bountiful
fishing grounds. The locals flocked to its superb seafood restaurants to savor
a variety of seafood specialties, in particular the curry crab. Special arrangement can be made to visit the dry prawn and salted fish
factories where you can buy fresh fish products at reasonable prices. Another
interesting place to visit and buy fresh fish is The Fish Dealer Center where
the fishermen sell their sea captures to the fish dealer. Prior
arrangement has to be made as this factory is a private business place.
You need not go far to Pulau Pangkor
in Perak and Pulau Duyong in Terengganu to see the making of wooden fishing
boats. It is here at Pulau Ketam! Again prior arrangement is necessary to visit
this private business place.
If you
wish to experience a day of life at sea, you may stay at the floating chalets
or ‘Kelong” house at the Fish Farm, which is located about two or three kilometers offshore. Anglers may also
bring their own fish tackle to fish. You need to prepare your own meal, kitchen
is provided.
For the anglers,
artists and photographers, you need to spend a night or two to mesmerize the
laid back and easy life of the villagers and to capture the tranquility of this
fishing village on canvas.
Although Pulau Ketam is a desolated small
island, please try to avoid going there during the public holidays because it
is very crowded with family and friends returning to the island.
