The so-called Pescheria, the noisy and colourful daily food market of Catania, has probably been held on this spot for over two thousand years. Fishermen offer their catch, fruit and vegetables are opulently displayed, meat, cheese, sausage and salami tickle the nostrils with their aromatic effluvia. The extension of the market and the quality and variety of the produce is remarkable, and very photogenic. Then take your purchases to the home of a local family, where you will learn how to cook, Sicilian style, and how to appreciate the excellence of the local olive oil, wine and vegetables.
