12 markets around the world, with peak/quiet hours, specific stall and dish to order.
Tsukiji Outer Market (Tokyo) still works — only the fish wholesale closed in 2018 (moved to Toyosu). Sushi breakfast at 5am.
Or Tor Kor (Bangkok) is the local chefs' secret — forget Chatuchak, which went full tourist. Rare fruits, serious tom yum.
Mercado de San Juan (CDMX) has exotic meats (crocodile, buffalo) and squash blossom — hidden gourmet spot open Tuesday through Sunday.
Golden rule: early (before 9am) or late (after 4pm). Midday is tourists, lines and inflated prices.
