Najboljši čas za obisk

Go between 8 and 11am, when the day's swordfish glistens on ice and vendors chant at full volume. Most stalls pack up by early afternoon, so a late visit means closed shutters and swept pavement.

Nasveti za proračun

Walking in costs nothing; bring 5 and 10 euro notes because few vendors take cards. Share a few street snacks between two people to eat well for around 8 euros total.

O znamenitosti

Hitre informacije: Približno 40 stojnic se gnete na pogreznjenem trgu, kjer se trguje že od nekdaj, ko je otoku pred tisoč leti vladal arabski emirat na otoku. Cene se tukaj vpijejo, ne objavljajo, iste družine pa že več kot sto letdelajo na nekaterih mestih.

Poudarki: Abbanniata je prava predstava: prodajalci izvajajo rimovane, teatralne cene, ki zvenijo kot improvizirana opera nad hrupom. Ustavi se pri možu pri stigghioli, ki praži kozja čreva neposredno nad ogljem v železnem sodu in jih reže s škarjami, tri evre za stožec.

Notranji nasveti

Wear closed-toe shoes, the aisles stay slick with fish water and crushed leaves.
Eat at the stalls two or three lanes deep, where portions are bigger and prices lower than the piazza edge.
Photograph the fish displays before 9am, when the light is soft and aisles are still passable.
Point and nod to lock a price fast; haggling beyond a quick back-and-forth rarely wins a better deal.
