Trapani

Trapani Fish Market

The first attraction of Trapani, where Mario and Antonella brought us after going to the local supermarket, was the fish market. Sicily is famous for its sweets, garlic and seafood. Everyone has already heard the legendary traditional fishing for red tuna, which takes place just in the western part of the island, and more precisely near the nearby island of Favignana in early summer. But in November, vacation in Sicily has its own characteristics. Due to the complete lack of tourists, we had the opportunity to enjoy the island in all its glory, as well as get to know the local population closer. And so we found ourselves in a real market, where local fishermen themselves sell their catch and do not hide their interest in the rare Russian-speaking tourist at that time.

I have long dreamed of going to such a place. The fishermen always seemed to me rather harsh guys, but these myths were dispelled at the very first moment when such a cute guy like my friend Seryozha Kondobarova himself suggested that I take a picture with a catch.

Prices for freshly caught fish are acceptable, in the range of 8-12 euros.

Mario's friend tells us about his catch.

That's what real shrimp look like. Next time we’ll buy a couple kilo home. Even I can cook shrimp.

There are also more exotic fish at 20 euros / kilo. Cipolle (onion fish?) Called.

And is it weak for you to just take a living octopus?

Come, fly in - buy live moray eels for 5 euros!

The market itself is quite small, but there are a lot of different species of marine inhabitants, I have never even heard some names.

But I am afraid to cook such things. But surely they are very tasty.

We arrived at the market around 11 o’clock in the afternoon, and trade was already drawing to a close. Still, buying fresh fish, and even more so fishing, is not for those who like to sleep.

Fishermen's ships are moored near the market.

Having noted in such an authentic place, we went to the westernmost point of Sicily, but we will tell you about this a little later.

If you rent apartments with a kitchen and know how to cook seafood, or you are just interested in the life of the indigenous Sicilians, the fish market in Trapani is a place worth visiting.
