Morning rituals

Get coffee early — lines build quickly, so aim for first light.
See the fish throwers at the fish market (mid-morning is busiest for shows and crowds).

Must-eat items

Fresh chowder, smoked salmon, and seasonal produce from the market stalls.
Try a local bakery for breakfast and take it down to the waterfront for views.

Market micro-plan

20 minutes: main arcade and craft stalls.
30 minutes: specialty food stops and vendor chats.
15 minutes: fish market and photos.

Local hint: Walk one block up from the market to find quieter cafes and better seating.
