If you want to buy fresh local fish, hop over to the Municipal Fish Market in Riva delle Caorline from 8.30 to 11.30. Awaiting you is a feast for the eyes and the tastebuds… A truly unique experience is also watching the fishing boats slowly return to the harbour from the sea or the Lagoon, every day between 3.30 pm and 4 pm, then dock, offload the boxes of fish which is still flapping about and then perform an ancient, traditional ritual: the whispered auction. This ensures buyers that they get fish at the best possible price, fish that will then be served in one of the restaurants of the hamlet!
