MANAUS-AMAZONAS, BRAZIL - The markets and fairs in Manaus are busiest during Holy Week.
This is the time when Catholics have a tradition of replacing red meat with fish.
And with the end of the closed season, which happened in March, the markets were stocked with Amazonians' favorite fish.
According to vendors, the price per kilo of Pirarucu fillet may increase due to demand.
Pirarucu is widely consumed throughout the state, in addition to being exported to other countries.
Another species that is highly sought after by consumers is Tambaqui, found in large quantities in markets.
Those who work in the fish sales sector expect 2025 to be better than last year.
