Labuan Bajo seafood seller cites about Rp100,000 for a complete meal

Kampung Ujung — A seafood seller in Kampung Ujung said on 5 November 2026 that a complete seafood meal could cost about Rp100,000, as local businesses sought to counter perceptions that the waterfront food area is unaffordable.

Why it matters: Visitors can use the reported Rp100,000 example as a reference, but the final Kampung Ujung bill depends on the seafood selected, its weight and additional preparation or side-dish charges.

The report did not identify the seller by name or specify the meal’s portions, fish type, weight, cooking charge or included side dishes. Seafood at Kampung Ujung is commonly selected and priced by weight, so the final bill can vary according to the catch and preparation.

A separate report published on 6 November 2026 said fish sellers at Labuan Bajo’s fish auction market were selling some fishing and small-schooling fish for about Rp40,000 per kilogram. That figure concerns raw fish at a different market and is not a quoted price for a prepared meal at Kampung Ujung.

Why the price can vary

Visitors typically choose seafood before it is cooked, making the fish, weight, preparation and side dishes relevant to the final total. A local food guide published on 5 November advised diners to confirm the pricing unit, the fish’s weight, cooking charges and the total before ordering.

The pricing discussion follows earlier complaints about a Rp530,000 bill for food and drinks for four people at Kampung Ujung in June 2024. DetikBali reported that the stall operator acknowledged the total and said the customer had been told the fish price, while drink and rice prices had not been clearly communicated.

The latest account therefore provides an example of a possible meal price, not a fixed tariff for all Kampung Ujung stalls. Prices remain dependent on the selected seafood and the charges included by each seller.
