Mercato del Pesce di Pozzuoli

An easy 300m walk to the northwest, the atmospheric Mercato del Pesce di Pozzuoli is the town’s modern-day equivalent and a fab spot for an appetising morning stroll. Good weather brings in the best catches, with local staples including pesce azzurro, pesce bandiera (sailfish), seppie (squid), polipi (octopus), alici (anchovies) and gamberoni (giant prawns). The second of the two aisles is a fragrant, mouth-watering spectacle of robust salami and salsiccie (sausages), plump cheeses, local fruits and vegetables, and crunchy casareccio bread. Peckish? Stock up for an impromptu picnic on nearby Monte Nuovo.
