Footscray Market

In the centre of Footscray lies this cavernous fresh food market. You’ll have to have your wits about you when you’re picking out your sawtooth coriander or fresh globe artichokes because if you’re dawdling, you will most likely be run over by an old woman and her trolley stocked with fish heads. The meat hall is packed with goat, calves’ feet, livers, tripe and stock bones, while the seafood hall is a riotous fight over South Australian scallops still in the shell, blood cockles from Darwin, live fish and sea urchins.
