ABSTRACT: Fish comprise one of the main foods consumed in the State of Pará, because, in addition to the abundance of species in the Amazon Region, they are part of the caboclo-riverain food culture. However, the poor hygiene conditions at points of sale in public markets and open markets can pose risks both to the quality of the fish sold and to the health of the consumer. Therefore, the objective of this article was to evaluate the structural conditions and hygienic-sanitary practices of the Icoaraci Municipal Market, in Belém (PA), in order to understand whether food security in the area is in line with the normative provisions. The field research took place between January 25 and February 1, 2021, through the application of two evaluation checklists, namely: 1) more general structural conditions of the market and 2) hygienic-sanitary practices of the handlers at the points of sales. It was observed that, due to the negligence of the public power and the behaviors and practices of the manipulators, the space is inappropriate for the commercialization of food, especially fish. In this way, the fish commercialized in this place can suffer from the precarious exposure and the propitious contamination in the environment.
