Indonesia possesses significant potential in the fisheries sector; however, it has not been fully optimized due to the low quality of fish market facilities, particularly regarding hygiene. As a coastal city, Surabaya features two major fish trading hubs, namely the Pabean Fish Market and the Bulak Fish Center, which serve as the objects of this study. This research aims to evaluate and compare the implementation of hygienic aspects in both market buildings, encompassing sanitation, ventilation, and lighting. The method employed is a field survey conducted through direct observation and interviews with traders as well as market management. The results indicate that the Bulak Fish Center possesses a more modern sanitation system, better air circulation, and adequate lighting compared to the Pabean Fish Market, which still exhibits deficiencies in waste management, natural ventilation, and the cleanliness of fish processing areas. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that infrastructural differences directly influence the market environment quality and the safety of fishery products. These findings are expected to serve as a baseline for improvements in traditional fish markets across Surabaya.
