Stone town is the capital of Zanzibar and the largest town. The market there is something to see. The arts and crafts aren't the usual tourist fare - there are plenty of true collectibles to be found.
The seafood market next to the harbor sells fresh seafood most evenings. Everything from crab to whole cooked octopus. My personal favorite is the freshly squeezed sugar cane juice - they squeeze it from a whole cane plant right in front of you.

I agree about the market. Great Tinga-tinga paintings and carved wood not to mention tasty samoosas. The Maasi tribesmen in your pic must be the most photographed and friendly in Stonetown. I have a similar shot of the guy on the right. Bought some beads from him.
