I do think the opinions about markets are off. Now that greengrocers are thin on the ground, they're a good place to get fresh fruit and veg, though no tin small quantities. There are also stalls which sell branded cosmetic goods at a discount. Ours had, until recently, a good stall for electrical goods. There's a good plants stall, and a fish stall supplied from port. It depends what you're looking for. There is tat, but other stuff as well.

Not easy to use them if you are working, because of the opening hours, but on the traditional stalls, you're dealing with people who know their stuff, and who, as one stall advertises, will be there next week.
