I had been asking my friend Giuseppe how the market was in downtown Catania, since I dare not…read moreventure into town alone, so he finally surprised me one day and off to the fish market we went.
Bustling market with so many unusual fish and all sorts of displays. Shark, Swordfish, octopus, sea urchin, clams, shrimp, and too many fish to name.
Kids enjoyed the displays but could hardly handle the smelly fishiness-honestly I think the Asian market in Vegas smells fishier-at least this was an open air market.
If you buy the fish here, you are the butcher-so we came here just for pure enjoyment. We did buy some fresh parsley since we would be cooking some seafood (but we bought our fish elsewhere). Lots of fruit and veggie stands too.
Open daily until 4 p.m. behind the Piazza Duomo.
