Usage Note

Pescheria is a shop or market stall where fresh fish is sold. The suffix -eria marks it as a commercial establishment, like panetteria (bakery) or macelleria (butcher's). It should not be confused with pesca (fishing or peach) — the connection is to pesce (fish). The plural is pescherie.

Examples

"Compro il pesce fresco alla pescheria del mercato."

Natural Translation
