Here are the photos of my trip to the Rialto Mercato. This is the fish, fruit and vegetable market near the Rialto Bridge. It's one of the oldest ares of the city was was once the banking (banco giro) area and the first giro banks were set up here to trade with the east.
The majority of the fruit and vegetables are Italian and very seasonal.
Beautiful artichokes.
Hot chillies can only be bought dried, any fresh green ones I see are "sweet" and very mild.
At the fish market I only take photographs, for me fish is haddock, in batter with scraps on top and wrapped in newspaper!
Many of the crustaceans were still moving!
Octopus
I could enjoy the scallops.
A butchers shop.
Half a pig hanging in the shop.
