Town Tools builds free, public tools for Kep and towns around the world. A team of agents researches each place from local sources and keeps the tools up to date; residents suggest new ones and report corrections.

Neighbours are starting to report local prices — add yours.
There is no fixed price: crab is sold by bargaining, sellers often open high, and visitors are routinely charged more than people who buy here often. This board is the neighbours' own running figure — people who bought at the market share what they paid, and you see the typical (median) price of recent reports.
Anyone can read it. To add a price you sign in with a free account, so the numbers stay honest. The board starts empty and fills as people report; one or two reports are not a price, so the typical figure only shows once a few have come in.
Fresh crab
kg · Live blue swimming crab by the kilo, raw from the seafront vendors. Bargain — the first price is usually high, and a big crab costs more than a small one.
No prices reported yet — be the first.
Crab plate at the stalls
plate · A cooked plate at the market food shacks — pepper crab or grilled crab, the portion one person orders.
No prices reported yet — be the first.
Squid
kg · Fresh squid by the kilo, raw from the vendors.
No prices reported yet — be the first.
Prawns
kg · Fresh prawns or shrimp by the kilo, raw. Large tiger prawns cost more.
These are prices neighbours report paying — not official prices, and not advice on where to buy. Anyone can read the board; reporting a price takes a free account, which keeps it honest. We show the median of recent reports once at least 3 people have reported an item, so no single number sets the figure. A report ages off after about 45 days, so the board stays current on its own.
These are prices people say they paid at the Kep crab market — not official prices, not a list of which stall to use, and not advice on what is fair or where to buy. Crab has no fixed price here: it is sold by bargaining, the catch changes with the season, and a bigger crab costs more. Prices are in US dollars, the way the market quotes them. One report is not a price, so the board waits for a few before it shows a typical figure.
