The city's covered market is one of the biggest of its kind in UK. Though the current glass roofed building is post war, there has been a market on this site since the Middle Ages. It's very animated, friendly and distinctly Welsh. The rotunda at the center is surrounded by fresh cockle and laverbread stalls, the two most renowned local specialties. More seafood and fish, all freshly caught, plus games are available on stalls near the Union Street entrance. There are excellent general butchers, bacon specialists, bakers offering traditional Welsh-cakes, cheese and continental sausage sellers and fruit and veggie stalls. You can also find books, toys, pet supplies, hardware, clothing, haberdashery and household items.
