The fishermen themselves don't. However all the restaurants on the seafront cook the fresh fish and seafood. You'll notice that the restaurants on the waters edge have "bo ke" in the title. This I've been told by a local means "sea defence". There is a man made wall, in the sea and a lot of restaurants are gathered set slightly back from this. They have live food in tanks and typically cook them on open coals giving them a great flavour. At my time of visit I ordered a kilo of scallops cooked in their shell above the coals with a spoon of garlic butter in each. They were delicious and only cost$2.
Something to look out for. Sometimes the restaurants over order the fish and you might see fish etc close to the end of their lives. The restaurant will want to get rid of this first. So when you pick a nice fresh one, when you've sat down they might change for an old, dying one. If in doubt ask to watch the fish being cooked. Make out you want to take a photo or something.
I personally never had problems with this but have been told it happens.
