Central Market (Mercado Central)
Inspect the daily haul at Central Market (Mercado Central), a great place to shop for fresh fish in Santiago. Give yourself a second to adjust to the potent smell of fish, then meander through the aisles, keeping an eye out for any particularly exotic catches. You can sit down and enjoy some of the day's spoils at one of the market's many fish restaurants, but beware of tourist traps--while many offer decent meals at reasonable prices, some will try almost anything to drag you into their overpriced establishment.

This place is JUST seafood markets and seafood restaurants now. Fresh produce (fruits and vegetables) can be found at Vega Central. Really hated how everyone was so high-pressure with their persuasiveness, trying to get us into their restaurants. You can easily get three employees from the same restaurant trying to talk to you. Ugh.
