Mercado de Mariscos

Panama City's public seafood market, famous for fresh ceviche

A working fish market on Avenida Balboa at the edge of Casco Viejo — wholesale seafood stalls downstairs, informal ceviche counters upstairs serving the catch straight off the boats. A local institution as much as a tourist stop.

  • Ceviche stands on the upper floor
  • Fresh catch-of-the-day seafood downstairs
  • A few steps from Casco Viejo and the Avenida Balboa waterfront
