With three amazing days ahead of me in beautiful Florianópolis, Brazil, I kicked off my adventures with an unforgettable market tour! Come with me as I explore a Brazilian central market and try seafood, sugarcane, and beer in Florianópolis, Brazil!

My morning kicked off outside the city’s central market. The city of Florianópolis is the capital of Santa Catarina state and was founded in 1673 by Portuguese settlers. It was ranked the top party city in the world by the New York Times back in 2009. It lies on an island, so it’s full of seafood and beaches!

The central market was built back around 1850-1851. It consists of an array of shops that sell everything from souvenirs to tons of food! I couldn’t wait to have some breakfast there!

The market was very organized and orderly. I could see a bakery and stands selling nuts, spices, meat, and fruit. There were also stands selling handmade pottery. The market reminded me of markets I’d visited in Spain.

We reached a seafood stand. Florianópolis is famous for its shrimp and oysters. I could also see fresh and raw squid, octopus, lobster, sardines, shark, and mussels.

Then, we headed into a kitchen to watch the workers de-shell and de-vein shrimp and filet a whole tilapia. We also saw a really big fish. The vendors were so friendly! There’s such a wide variety of high-quality seafood.

We continued on to an area with 12 seafood vendors. The seafood was as fresh as it comes, as it came straight from the fishing boats. One of them sells a dozen oysters for just $3 USD! They have many different ways to prepare them!

From there, we left the seafood side of the market and headed to the central courtyard, where there are tons of tables set up. It again took me back to my time in Portugal and Spain.

Then, we headed over to a friendly vendor who offered to make me some fresh caldo de cana, or sugarcane juice. They added a bit of lime to add a nice tang. It’s so sweet and refreshing and is full of vitamins! A cup cost me R$ 3, or roughly $0.80 USD.

Past that vendor is an area where you can buy handicrafts and household items. All of the vendors were so friendly. I also found a shop selling ceramic figurines, mugs, wooden figurines of animals, and more.

I was super hungry, so we went to go eat at a taverna-style restaurant called Box 32. It’s the most popular place in the market. There, they sell beer, seafood, and pastries.

In the back, the bartender poured me some house honey cachaça. It was sweet, smoky, and strong. The clarity was amazing! Then, I tried their Saint Bier, which is a super strong Belgian beer from Santa Catarina state. It was like a Belgian ale mixed with Weiss. I loved it!

Then, I tried a berbigão pastelito. It’s a fried shellfish pie! They were a little tough but juicy, with a nice, crispy crust. I added some Carolina Reaper sauce on it. It was glazy and spicy with a nice tang. The spice hit me a few seconds later! Then, I tried a sweet and sour Trinidad Scorpion sauce. I liked it more! The heat from the sauces lingered in my throat for a long time!

The owner told me to try their Saint Bier Pilsen, which was the best Pilsen I’ve had in South America. I couldn’t get over how friendly everyone was!

From there, we crossed the street and headed to the Christmas market. Outside was a vendor selling cakes, croquetas, and coffee. I got a black coffee with no sugar, but it was still sweet even without it!

Hi David, my wife is a Brazilian living here in America. She enjoyed your videos; especially on Brazil/Porto Alegre. Because that’s where she’s from. Wish you could upload the remaining video from the south; eagerly waiting to see the remaining in your Brazil series. Keep going.

All reg bars have dairy. David lol They wouldnt be able to make different drinks like the black or white Russian drink. You should've asked. I bet they would've found some for you. Lol You're probably just not thinking because that pepper sauce is so hot u can't focus 😂
