Produce and Fresh Food Markets

Produce and fresh food markets are built around fruit, vegetables, meat, seafood and deli goods. They work as grocery destinations rather than weekend outings, which is why they behave differently from every other category here: most trade five, six or seven days a week instead of clustering on the weekend.

These are often the oldest and most established markets in a city, and the ones locals use for an actual weekly shop. Expect specialist traders rather than general stalls, fixed shopfronts rather than trestle tables, and opening hours that look more like a supermarket's than a market's.
