This is your spot for fresh fish in Old Town PV. It follows the format for small Mexican fish markets — open-air, stocked with a rotating selection of whatever came off the boats that day, and ready to rock. If you’re squeamish about fish smell or the idea of flies, you might want to send your husband/friend/manservant here to purchase your fish for you. However while it looks a lot more rustic than your average US fish market, it’s not that bad. We scored some excellent seabass and a fat kilo of tuna here for what I’d consider to be dirt cheap. And I’m assuming I paid gringo-price. The guys were helpful, spoke enough english to get me what I needed, and when I asked for tuna, they pulled a huge whole tuna out of the cooler, hacked off a kilo, and handed it to me. See photos. It was a thing of beauty. The fish sections in the supermercados around here suck. Come to this Pescaderia and get the fresh, tasty stuff instead. Support the little guy.

This very small, «hole-in-the-wall» in size, fish market, is on Constitucion, directly across the street from where the entrance and exit to the former Rizo’s Supermercado were located. Fish, other seafoods, and shellfish, arrive at the shop in the early-mornings(weekdays, and Saturday), and once unpacked, are set up for sale rather quickly by the staff. My favourite time to shop there is between 7−9am, when the products are out for sale, and the selections and freshness the best. For me, it’s been primarily a place to shop for shrimp. I find their selections are often ‘the’ best in the area — allowing me to choose sizes graded from small to large, and at times, very large, with heads still attached. For us, I’m most often seeking«mediums» for our our cooking, but once in a while, the«small” are great for cocktails, to use in sandwiches, stir-fries, and the like, and the«large» or «very large» can make some yummy dinner treats. The shrimp are priced by the kilo, and the friendly and accommodating staff will always provide you with as much or little as you wish. I like this little pescaderia, have been shopping there for several years, and have never had a problem with the quality of products purchased.
