The Santiago central food market (Mercado Central) is an expectacular art noveau building that was supposedly designed to be a train station in the first place. The ceiling is all made of steel and was imported from Belgium and assembled in Santiago. That's what they have told me.
But you dont need to know this to have fun at the central market. Dozens of merchants offer exotic fish, crabs, colorful fruits and seasonings. The place is also very nice for having lunch. I recommend the Donde Algusto restaurant.
Be careful of the hordes of people that approach tourists when they enter the market. They try to sell you goods and promote the nearby restaurants - and they can be really nasty.

There you will be able to enjoy their culture as well as excellent fresh seafood. Also they sell fresh fruits and vegetables. A place where you will meet the locals.
