The Municipal Market is on Largo de Bombaldes, in the centre, a few metres from the beach and the Fortaleza de Santiago. It is the showcase of the Sesimbra fleet: the day's fish and shellfish, fruit and vegetables from the countryside, bread baked in a wood oven, sweets and the cheeses of Azóia. Look for the black scabbardfish (peixe-espada-preto), which the fleet catches with deep-sea longlines a few miles off Cabo Espichel and which comes ashore almost daily.
It is open Tuesday to Sunday from 7:30 to 14:00, so Sunday morning works; it is closed on Monday, and also on 1 January, 25 April, 1 May, 4 May (local holiday) and 25 December. Go before 11:00 to see the fish stall full.
