Alderman of Markets Miet Vandenbulcke also remains behind the original decision. “Today we only have six market stalls, while there used to be twenty,” she says. “Every stall is welcome. Moreover, both fishmongers do not offer exactly the same thing. One focuses more on prepared dishes, the other on fresh fish.”
For the time being, it will remain at one fish stall on the Staden market. It has not yet been decided whether the second fish seller will submit another application.
