travel europe italy veneto venice markets mercato rialto fish

As in all places I visit, I love to go to the fresh fish markets to see what delicacies the local oceans provide.
Venice's Mercato Rialto is not as big nor as exotic as Tokyo's Tijiki fish market, but it has been a great place to
see a variety of fresh local fish that has been around for the last seven centuries.
