La Nueva Viga Market, Wholesale seafood market in Iztapalapa, Mexico

La Nueva Viga Market occupies 9.2 hectares with 202 wholesale warehouses and 55 retail spaces, making it the second largest seafood market worldwide.

The market opened in 1994 to replace the traditional fish market near La Viga Canal, which had served as a distribution point since pre-Hispanic times.

Customers can find over 300 types of fresh seafood species and 100 imported varieties, reflecting Mexico's diverse marine resources from both coasts.

The market operates from 4 AM with peak activity during morning hours, serving 20,000 to 25,000 daily customers including restaurant owners and individual buyers.

During Lent, the facility processes approximately 2,500 tons of seafood per day, representing 60% of Mexico's total seafood distribution.
