Muara Angke is a fishing boat or fishing port in Jakarta. Marked with the operation of supporting the needs of the fishermen as the fish auction (structures and facilities) in addition to the prevalence of a dealer who managed a Syahbandar. By administrative rule, is located in the village of Muara Angke Kapuk Muara, Penjaringan District, North Jakarta district. Its location adjacent to the Muara Karang.
Although known to many people in Jakarta as a fishing village, and harbor fish auction place and a place to eat grilled fish, but other potential Muara Angke store. In this area, there are Muara Angke Wildlife Refuge, an area covering 25.02 hectares of mangrove forests inhabited by no fewer than 90 species of birds.
Muara Angke is part of the last remaining mangrove forest in the provinces of DKI Jakarta. -Kapok Angke forest area consisting of Muara Angke Wildlife Reserve, Protected Forest and Nature Park Angke Kapok is the last mangrove forest that can be found in Jakarta. This forest area has a total area of about 170.60 ha.
Muara Angke is the area downstream and the estuary of the Kali Angke. While the time or the river is expected to be named after a warlord kingdom of Banten, namely Tubagus Angke (Tuba or Ratu is a title of nobility kingdom of Banten).
Around the beginning of the 16th century, the Kingdom of Banten to send troops to help the kingdom of Demak was pounding the Portuguese fort at Sunda Kelapa (now Jakarta). River where the troops stationed Tubagus Angke later known as Kali Angke and the area located on the edge of the river is called Muara Angke.
Another opinion expressed by Alwi Shahab, one of the authors and Betawi culture. According to him, the word "Angke" comes from the Hokkien language, namely "ang" meaning red and "to" which means river or times. This is related to events in 1740, when the Dutch massacred 10,000 people in Glodok Chinese, which makes the color of the water which was originally clear Kali Angke become red with blood. However, according to the Betawi culture Ridwan Saidi, said "Angke" comes from the Sanskrit word, "Anke", which means the times that deep.
Muara Angke now famous as a place selling fresh fish and grilled fish in Jakarta. Indeed, here there are facilities where fish landing and auction, and also the fish market.
Grilled fish restaurant became available around 1994, when RM (restaurant) Fuel and RM Ray Fish Estuary is present here. Since then, this place is becoming known food lovers to get a fresh grilled fish, delicious and relatively cheap. Grilled fish restaurant now has many, but its unique restaurants are only providing services to cook fish. Visitors must buy their own fish at the fish market nearby, and then handed it over to the restaurant to be processed: baked, fried and others as you wish. Unfortunately, fresh fish traders are often not honest in the scales.
In the area of 65 hectares there are also centers of Traditional Fishery Products Processing (PHPT). Various kinds of salted fish, evaporation and the resulting smoke here. In addition to the processing and drying of fish, in this section there are also several shops selling dried fish in bulk and retail. Some salted fish produced are sent between islands or exported.
Fishing settlement located on the west and south. Most fishing boats are propped up along the banks of Kali Angke in western and southern region. Fishing boats dock and pond trials found in the north. In addition, in this region there is also the apartment complex for the fishermen, bus terminals and public transportation, and retail outlets (public refueling stations).
For the people of Jakarta, the names of regions Muara Angke, North Jakarta, is not foreign. Both as a port where fishing boats and all-round eating the catch of fishermen. From baronang fish species, snapper, squid, shrimp, until the mussels. Visitors to shop alone at the same time freely choosing the desired fish. Problem is guaranteed affordable price.
To enter Rp2.000 charge for private vehicles. The atmosphere in the crowded region. Some fishermen are lower fish catches. Traders mussels, shrimp and crab offer price to every visitor who passes. All kinds of fish that was held still looks fresh and big.
Log into deeper areas, visitors will see the brains of fish traders who hold wares on the roadside. They seemed busy burning. Prices of food wrapped in banana leaves is relatively cheap. Rp600 per shoot. The more delicious when eaten with their homemade sauce.
Restaurants have a place and the gate itself. Written, "Welcome Center Multipurpose Fish Snack." In that place free visitor ate the fish as desired. Not to be confused to find a place. Already there are traders who immediately greeted and led to where he is selling. There is no compulsion. Visitors were given a referral.
Do not feel strange if all the restaurants are all typical behalf of South Sulawesi. There is a restaurant called the City of Makassar, Losari, Maros, and Pangkep. Understandably, most traders and fishermen are generally derived from the Bugis-Makassar.
As a member of the entourage, we chose a place in a restaurant named Losari, Makassar. The smell of grilled fish smoke in the vicinity of the location of visitors appetizing that I wanted to eat it.
Actually not hard-tough visit to Muara Angke. For those who have personal vehicles, cars can drive through the highway, then exit at the toll booth Pluit. From there, the distance to the Muara Angke about 4 kilometers. Or from the main road towards Pluit Grogol. As for visitors who choose to go with public transport, can directly down at Terminal Muara Angke.
Sabrin, a local trader said, Muara Angke as a place to "feast of grilled fish" has been around since the early 1990s. When it was still quiet. Because, first of Muara Angke better known simply as a port for fishermen over fishing in the sea. Also as the fish auction place.
Because the number of visitors from year to year more and more, finally made the stalls for visitors. That's where visitors can relax while eating fish, especially grilled fish.
Delay time, precisely since 1994, the district of Muara Angke began bustling. Especially in 1996 when President Suharto launched a movement to eat fish. Not only are residents of Jakarta, the immigrant population and many tourists visit and enjoy grilled fish in that place. Even businessmen and politicians too often come.
Visitors are not required to buy fish at a local restaurant. There are fish markets that were located not far from restaurants. Visitors are free to choose the desired fish. About the price are also free trade.
On price, depending on supply transaction. Rabbitfishes, the market price of Rp20 thousand sekilonya, in Muara Angke be worth Rp10 thousand per kilo. The concept of free choice and that's shopping himself, the impression most felt if the visit to Muara Angke.
"Visitors are free to choose and buy their own type of fish you want. Waiter stall just burn and cook as desired visitors. Visitors who choose to own more of the desired species of fish rather than chosen by the diner waitress, "Sabrin said.
To relax and relieve fatigue, Muara Angke deserved a choice.
