Something smells fishy.....

Somewhere along Avenida Central as you wind your way to Casco Viejo you will find the Mercado de Mariscos or Fish Market. There is a Japanese flag on the sign BUT it is because the building was a gift from the Japanese government. On the top floor upstairs is a restaurant that overlooks the floor of the market where you can see all the vendors selling their seafood. That makes for a pretty nice show because it can really be incredible. You can buy your entree from one of the vendors and take it to the restaurant for preparation if you wish.

The fishermen dock at the municipal pier out front and sell their catches to wholesalers who buy the entire load. The wholesalers then turn around and resell the fish to the retailers. The stand you see are individual retailers who sell to the general public. No matter what your taste is you are very likely to find it!
