Two eels, one octopus, not enough business
Cold, rainy weather makes for a slow sales day at the Catania fish market -- though with fewer tourists in the way.
About this place:
Every morning, Sicilian fishermen bring their fresh -- sometimes still breathing -- catch to the fish market in Catania, in a maze of small streets and squares just around the corner from the Cathedral. You'll know the swordfish by the swordfish heads on display next to them. The sea urchin men will cut the urchins so you can eat them on the spot. And if seafood isn't on your menu, you can pick out a lamb, some greens, or a kilo of juicy blood oranges.
