Beyond central Port Adelaide on a bleak reach of the Port River, this multicultural mart is a top spot for bargain-priced fruit, veg and seafood. The Torrens Island Power Station across the water is grim, but the produce is top-quality. Get in early for the pick of the crop…or wait til noon when everything that's left is going cheap!
