those who love fresh fish, would discover a treasure just across the bay, in the neighboring niterói, where themercadão são pedro is known to be the best fish market in the region and well kept secret of many restaurants in town.

of course, visitors can purchase most of the products that are on sale at the markets, in grocery stores and supermarkets across the city, but the fresh and traditional community feel of one of the city's most fun and stimulating  customs is only available at the street markets.
