If you follow Rua Marquês de Santa Cruz along the waterfront you’ll see covered stalls selling merchandise, ranging from Manaus T-shirts to medicinal roots. Central to this area is the Adolfo Lisboa Market (Mercado Adolfo Lisboa), where much of the material unloaded from the river boats is sold.
The building is one of Manaus’ European lega-cies. Opened in 1906, the sprawling cast iron complex that shelters the stalls is modeled after the Art Nouveau style of Les Halles, Paris (no longer there). All the material used to make it was imported from Europe. The market has four large areas, each dedicated to a different sale – grains, handicrafts, fish and meat and fruit. Many of the grains, fish and fruit are unique to the Amazon region.
One huge fish, the pirarucu, has ribs so large that they are prepared and served in the manner of spare ribs. Other fish include the paçu, tucunaré, jaraqui and small river sardines. Local fruits include graviola, cupuaçu and acaí. The latter is very popular at Rio’s juice stands and has become well known in the US as an energy booster.
