Cow & Fish’ is at the corner of Lorong Ikan (Fish Lane) and Lebuh Melayu. Before the extensive land reclamation. In those days this area was much closer to the sea, as well as to the Prangin Canal, making it an ideal place to land catches of fish and squid.

Land reclamation towards the end of the nineteenth century `pushed’ Lorong Ikan further inland, but many wholesalers of eggs, rice, dried fish and squid remain in this area, as tangible proof of the area`s earlier role.
