Fish Lane (or Lorong Ikan) is a small street in George Town that got its name due to the locals who were hanging salted fish to dry outside on the street back in the old days. The reasons being the area was close to a nearby marketplace and not many could afford a refrigerator at that time. There is also a wall art sculpture depicting the origin of the area.
A steel rod caricature located at Malay Street, George Town depicting the activities of the locals of Fish Lane and Malay Street during the old times. The area once housed a Malay village where cows were usually slaughtered by meat sellers while on the other side at Fish Lane (a small street intersecting with Malay Street), local fishermen can be seen making and selling salted fish. The area was once nearby the sea before the land exclamation of Beach Street coastal area.
