The daily fish-market in Catania is right behind the fountain on the edge of the Piazza Duomo and is a combination of food market and street theatre. At its centre are the many stalls selling an enormous range of fish, shell fish and cephalopods (squid, octopus, cuttlefish) many of which are not easily identified. The vendors try to out do each other with a vocal performance designed to attract customers and many people line the raised terrace above the outdoor part of the market just to watch this display. The quality of the fish is excellent - although prices can be high. but you get what you pay for. In the surrounding streets are many other stalls selling fresh fruits and vegetables; and others where butchers wield huge hatchets dismembering all sorts of meats or extremely sharp knives to slice the meats incredibly thin which seems to be the preferred cut in Sicilian cuisine. Some of the sights can be a bit off-putting to English sensibilities – especially the vast amounts of offal – but that’s the joy of experiencing other cultures. Highly recommend a visit - in fact, we detoured through the fish market even on days when we didn’t need to buy anything, just for the sights and sounds of an excellent market.

No visit to Ortigia would be complete without a visit to it's bustling market. Fresh fish, vegetables and fruit cram the tightly packed stalls and at one end there is also clothing and at the other a small bar where you can have a coffee or a beer or even breakfast or lunch. Allow at least a couple of hours.

Fascinating street market that meanders on and on through the streets of Palermo. From Soup to Nuts and including the Kitchen Sink. Vegetables...meats...fish...spices...and almost everything else. Many of the vendors are loudly hawking their goods to the passers by in a very entertaining fashion. the sight and smells are captivating. One of the highlights of my three week stay in Sicily.
