Mercado do peixe

The Mercado do Peixe sits right at Ponta da Praia, Santos' go-to spot for fresh seafood since it replaced the old beachside kiosks and fish stalls that used to line the area. You'll find locally caught fish sold straight from the boats alongside ready-to-eat food stalls — the Mercado Paru section inside is worth a stop for a full meal. It's the kind of place where the catch of the day is actually the catch of the day.
