Following Catholic tradition, during Holy Week it is common to savour fish-based dishes. In addition to good nutrition, eating fish is also healthy. In Manaus, people flock to the capital's markets and fairs to buy and consume fish on Friday, the bank holidays, and consequently over the weekend. However, you need to do your research because prices have risen. This year, the most popular fish are Matrixã and Tambaqui. Pirarucu and other species are also on display for customers looking for fish. The State Government of Amazonas is re-editing this year's Fish Market, which began on 27 March and runs until 29 March. In all, 113.6 tonnes of fish are expected to be sold during the period, which should generate more than R$2.4 million for the local economy. The event is expected to benefit more than 130 market families
