Mercado de Peixe de Santos

Santos Fish Market is the go-to spot on Ponta da Praia for seriously fresh seafood — locals swear by it for everything from whole fish to shellfish and all the fixings for a proper paella. The vibe mixes a working market with a lively food scene, thanks to the adjacent Mercado Paru where you can eat on the spot. If you're cooking or just want to taste what the local waters produce, this is the real deal.
