The central fish market near the Rialto Bridge in Venice is well worth a visit. There are lots of stalls, all vying for the potential buyers’ attention, so an eye-catching display is important in order to grab the punters’ interest.

This particular fishmonger proffered these carefully constructed sardines, which certainly caught my eye.
