Of course, shopping spots in Pangkor aren’t as extensive as compared to Lumut, Sitiawan and Seri Manjung.

Pangkor town is small one-street town, lined with several coffee shops, dried fish stores and souvenir shops.

Pangkor Island is famous in Malaysia for producing top quality ikan bilis (anchovies). Anchovies are the specialty of Pangkor Island and every tourist won’t leave the island without bringing some of this delicacy. There are different types of anchovies and when you come on the right shop, they can show you the ‘secret’ on how to pick the right type of anchovies. There’s a reason why Pangkor-produced anchovies are more popular than imported anchovies. If you take a closer look at the imported one, there’s a thin layer of white powder on its skin. It is also saltier and drier than the locally-produced dried fish. Pangkor dried anchovies have no added chemicals or salt and taste far better, making them 100% natural, yet only a little more expensive.

本 地 土 产

如果到一個地方游玩，不嘗試其家鄉美食，仿彿虧待自己的肚子。在踏上歸途的同時，如果您不把當地的土產或是紀念品當做手信送給您的親朋戚友們，他們可能會怨你“唔識做”！所以，出外旅行時，千萬不能兩手空空的回家！來到邦咯島，在享受島上風光的當兒，您也別忘記到她的海產店走一趟。    

邦咯岛早期是国内江鱼仔主要供应处，岛民还将小鱼称为沙爹鱼的零食，广受欢迎，成为邦硌岛名产。现在，沙爹鱼已是游客的必买特产。在回航時，都會大包小包的把沙爹魚帶回家。其獨特的辣腥味，都不知綁住多少遊客的肚子。

通常，沙爹魚是用體積比較小的金線魚或是白帶魚制成。洗清潔後的魚，將會放在空地上晒至兩天以上，直至乾透為止。然後就會放進機器里把它壓扁。壓扁的魚乾，將染上腌料，然後放進烘爐里烘至35分鐘，待涼後，就以人工包裝及機器封口。看似很簡單的製作過程，其實卻動用了不少人手。或釦A不知道每一小片魚乾，都是用人手把它放進機器里壓扁。雖然是很簡單的“眼見功夫”，可是卻花上很多人力和時間。   

沙爹魚食品製造業，為邦咯島人民的主要收入之一。這個行業通常都是家庭式小本生意，所以它的操作幾乎都出動每一位家庭成員。 
 
另外，除了沙爹魚以外，還有沙爹江魚子、沙爹蝦米、沙爹芝麻魚片呢！每樣沙爹海產，都各具風味，值得一嘗。除了沙爹魚外，邦咯島當然也少不了其它海產、海味如：江魚仔、魷魚乾、魚鰾、蝦米等等。這些海產都很新鮮，當然價錢也相當便宜。

海鲀，种类多，有人把它名为河啄或渔乡人多叫大肚鱼。
海鲀肉味鲜美，卵巢肝臟有剧毒，要小心处理才能吃。
这位馬来大哥，把它内部的肉全去除只剩下一層皮製成標本，工作之余賺取一些收入補家用。
