The fish market (Kalaturg) operating at Tallinn’s Kalarand will close at the end of this year as the area undergoes redevelopment and will get new shops, event spaces and a pool.
According to the design conditions for the properties at Kalasadama 5 and 7, the site will feature a building complex that will include an outdoor pool and sauna center, sports halls, restaurants, cafés, event spaces, outdoor terraces, a seaside promenade, and a marina.
Although claims have circulated on social media that the current fish market will disappear during redevelopment, the design conditions issued for the area stipulate that a market must remain there in the future.
Tallinn Deputy Mayors Margot Roose (Eesti 200) and Madle Lippus (SDE) also confirmed that the market will stay in its space.
“The area will be redeveloped with the obligation to preserve the function of the market. Having seen vendors weighing fish there in winter with their fingers stiff from the cold, I’ve often thought they need humane conditions. Now that will finally be done,” Roose said.

What a delightful twist! Kalarand, bless its heart, has been dealing with chilly fingers and fishy air, but looks like some serious tender loving care is on the way. Praise be to Deputy Mayors Roose and Lippus for ensuring the market remains, because lets be real, who wouldnt want to witness the dramatic winter fish-scales-off? Its a win-win: vendors get warmer vibes, and we get a potential new tourist attraction – Witness the Brave Fish Scales Off! Now, if only they could ensure the saunas are sufficiently heated for more than just a quick rinse before heading out to the terraces. ecommerce product image ai
What a glorious day for fishmongers in Tallinn! Praise be to Deputy Mayors Roose and Lippus for ensuring the Kalarand market remains, because lets be real, who wouldnt want to witness the dramatic winter fish-scales-off? Its a win-win: vendors get warmer vibes, and we get a potential new tourist attraction. Now, if only they could ensure the saunas are sufficiently heated for more than just a quick rinse before heading out to the terraces – the world needs to witness the full glory of the post-sauna fish scale!tải video YouTube
