Kalaaliaraq Market

[2] The market is noted for its fresh fish, as well as whale, reindeer and seal meat,[2][3] sold directly by the tradesmen.

[3] Although polar bears are a rarity in Nuup Kangerlua and the entire coastal region of southwestern Greenland, the final journey of the unlikely catch leads to the Kalaaliaraq market; a cause for celebration, and a social event.

[4][5] The municipality has constructed a new and modern building with coolers, freezers and much more, for the sale of caribou meat, musk ox, seal, whale, cod, salmon and much more wild life.

[6] Trichinosis is a common problem in Greenland due to the consumption of wild polar bear meat.

[2] Outside of Nuuk, in smaller towns and village settlements, seafood in other markets is sold in open-air stands without running water or electricity.
