"If you’re aiming to see what last night’s catch looked like before it became your supper, head to Santiago’s Mercado Central, where every edible sea creature is up for sale. As boisterous as a stock market, the seafood exchange assembles hard-working fishmongers, clad in high rubber boots, who hawk a full fishy portfolio including conger, swordfish, and shrimp (peeled for an extra fee). Live sea urchins peek out from rock-like shells and oysters slam shut as scores of restaurateurs arrive early in search of what will become the chef’s daily special. The market is loud, bustling, and crowded . . . and it can be jarring to discover just how ugly in life that delicious reineta you savored really was. Following local tradition, students come here the morning after their proms—fully regaled in tuxedos and gowns—for a bowl of restorative broth. By Travesías"

In all honesty I may have needed to rate it at two stars. When I was going to the market I have thought about other great bustling colorful markets in South America and Asia. It is a fish market and fish market only. Every single stand offers exactly the same selection. So if you would like to experience a fish market see two stands exactly and leave - there is nothing past yhat except identical stands. Since reviews said that food there is great we have tried. Beware! Everything is salted to extreme, fish is not good quality and they even managed to ruin mashed potatoes.

Cool fish market with allot of fish. A bit annoying with the restaurants and their waiters who tried their best to eat at their restaurant.

Lively area, lots of different things for sale for great prices, but be careful it's not the safest place, especially for tourists. I saw a tourist get robbed in broad daylight, they ripped her necklace off and ran. According to some of the locals I talked to this isn't uncommon. They said it's not a safe place, and they do their shopping and quickly leave. There is absolutely no police presence and lots of people are openly drinking.

Stunning diversity of fresh fish and fresh seafood. A plenty of choices for restaurants specialised in Pescado. Highly recommended for any traveler in Santiago de Chile.

In this place, numerous stalls offer a diverse array of seafood, complemented by restaurants specializing in seafood dishes. Visitors are cautioned to be vigilant to ensure a positive experience in this market. The environment is vibrant and lively, with frequent approaches from vendors promoting their products or people inviting you to dine at nearby restaurants.

Don’t trust Google’s opening hours - the interior closed already at 5 pm today, not 10 pm. The many stalls all around the outside may be open longer but are hardly worth the visit. Plus pickpockets appear to be rampant.

Great deals here. Just be aware, especially because it's crowded, people will reach into your purse or unzip your backpack while you're walking. They are discreet while stealing, so wear your bag on the front!!
