The old Fish Market
Leave Burg square by Blinde Ezelstraat. Just look up and
behind you to watch the exquisite vaulting between City Hall
and Old Recorders’ House. Across the bridge you arrive at
the Fish Market.
In this complex (1821), fresh
seafood from the nearby North Sea, is for sale every day (6.00
am-1.00 pm) from Tuesday through Saturday.
The market was originally an
important place for trading wheat but now, whilst fish is sold,
there's also a lot of craft and curio stalls as well. The stands
are covered and the fish is displayed on old stone slabs. There
are restaurants and bars around the outside of the market. The
"Vismarkt" is open daily between 08h00 and 13h00, except
on Sundays and Mondays. |
