Fresh fish!

I walked out of my apartment this morning to discover that on Friday mornings, they close off my street and there is a fresh produce market! The fish stand was literally outside my door, and there were stands of fresh fruit, vegetables, and flowers for about four blocks or so! The vendors were all shouting the names of their products in Greek, and everyone was talking and negotiating in Greek. Very intimidating. But the fruit and veggies looked delicious, so I walked over to a tomato stand and the vendor handed me a plastic bag. I found two good ones, and he weighed them and I said "How much?" (in English) just as he was starting to say "20" (cents, not euros) in Greek. He then said "40." (in English) Grrrr. He was very friendly, but I wish I had known how to call him on it. The other vendors were very nice and were patient as I tried out some Greek, although we usually ended up just having to communicate in English.


Fresh fruit at the market and lots of people


Anyone know what kind of fruit this is? Because I sure don't...

There were also teeny tiny fish that someone told me you can just bread whole, fry and then eat...intriguing...
