About

One of Milan's oft-repeated idiosyncracies is that it is a landlocked city and yet has the freshest fish in the country: The best catch is trucked up here from the shore every night to chase those bankers' euros. The best place to enjoy Milan's maritime bounty without dispensing a fortune is at this Brera fish market, which becomes a popular raw bar at night. Almost everyone goes for the mixed plate, which includes raw tuna, sea bass, salmon, red snapper, sturgeon, shrimp, prawns, and cod, or whatever else didn't sell that day. Order a plate for 10€ ($13), or a smaller portion for 8€ ($10), and enjoy it standing up at the counter (there are no seats) with a glass of prosecco, which is on the house.
