  • Can you just wander around, find a decent stall and order what you like? Or is there some sort of protocol? Never been before!

  • just wander round, it's best to go with a couple of people as you usually need to buy in bulkish quantities, so 8 sea bream instead of 2, and then split what you get between yourselves.
    Also means you get different stuff as the people you'll go with will have different needs/likes when I went with @greenhell, my portion of the bounty lasted several months, make sure you have space in your freezer to accommodate it all.

  • or get Marky Market to get them for you....

  • No protocol, I recommend a spare pair of shoes if you cycle with cleats, the floor tends to get slippery easily.

    Also what all the other told you, you buy in bulk (synonym of quality if you ask me): the first time I went the smallest amount of prawns you could get was 3kg! Last time there they brought it down to 1kg. Whole fishes are either big (salmon, halibut..) and you can buy a single or half, or small fishes are by the box.

    So either eat a lot/throw a dinner party/freeze.

    All in all it's fun, just as an experience per se. Try not going after 6am, next time give me a bit of heads up and I'll come with you.
