The sight raised concerns among local residents, tourists and local authorities, who are now urgently searching for the cause of the sudden marine die-off.
Various species of fish were scattered along the beach, brought in by strong winds and waves.
Local residents were seen collecting the fish, with many taking them home to cook.
According to some villagers, they have been frying or boiling the fish as part of their daily meals, with some incorporating them into dishes like sour curry.
Fishermen in the area had attempted to scoop up as many fish as possible, but due to the sheer numbers, not all could be retrieved. Larger fish were collected and shared with local residents.
Officials are now working to determine the cause of the mass fish deaths, while urging caution to the public when consuming the fish.
