This is a real Sicilian folklorist thing, not just a tourist attraction. Most of the buyers are local people and few wandering tourists. Open daily except on Mondays from 8 AM till lunch, more or less. Probably you already know that punctuality isn't an issue in Sicily.

I Woke up early in the morning, grabbed my photo camera to shoot some pictures and to share this experience with you. The fish market is located behind the main square Piazza Duomo. When you find that just follow the noise (and smell). These sellers are screaming in very loud voice, they have to beat the competitor. You won't feel that you are in Europe at all. All the fish is fresh, so the smell isn't that bad what you could imagine.

It's amazing to see how fishermen and marketers cut and clean the fish. The ground is wet so it's recommended to wear some closed shoes. You can find fruit and meat as well in the zone.
