Hala says
The Rialto pescheria has stood on this spot since the Republic; the fishmongers' guild is documented from 1227. The fishmongers shout in Venetian and break apart at 1 p.m. sharp. Closed Sundays and Mondays. The Erberia produce market alongside sells the lagoon vegetables you won't see elsewhere: castraure (baby artichokes from Sant'Erasmo), bruscandoli (wild hop shoots), radicchio di Treviso. Go at 7 a.m. for the spectacle.
