For English speakers looking to buy fish, I recommend going to Ayoub, he spoke enough English to me and gave me a more than fair price the times I went. The fish was fresh and tasty as well. The green circular vegetable with leave at it's base is called 'atroewa' it is very bitter. The white circular balls are called 'pempa' (I think), they are clay balls. You can find lettuce in the vegetable market inside if you look around enough. ืื ืืชื ืžื—ืคืฉื™ื ืœืงื ื•ืช ื“ื’, ืžืžืœื™ืฅ ืœืœื›ืช ืœืื™ื•ื‘ (ืจืื” ืชืžื•ื ื”). ื”ื•ื ืžื“ื‘ืจ ืžืกืคื™ืง ืื ื’ืœื™ืช. ืงื ื™ืชื™ ื“ื’ ื˜ืจื™ ื•ื˜ืขื™ื ืžืžื ื• ืคืขืžื™ื™ื ื•ื”ื•ื ื”ื‘ื™ื ืœื™ ืžื—ื™ืจ ืžืžืฉ ื”ื•ื’ืŸ. ื”ื™ืจืง ื”ื™ืจื•ืง ืขื ืขืœื™ื ื ืงืจื 'atroewa' ื•ื”ื•ื ืžืžืฉ ืžืจ. ื”ื›ื“ื•ืจื™ื ื”ืœื‘ื ื™ื ื ืงืจืื™ื 'ืคืžืคื”' (ืื ื™ ื—ื•ืฉื‘), ื”ื ื›ื“ื•ืจื™ื ืฉื ืขืฉื• ืžืกื•ื’ ืฉืœ ืงืจืžื™ืงื”. ืื ืืชื” ืžื—ืคืฉ, ืืคืฉืจ ื’ื ืœืžืฆื•ื ืคื” ื—ืกื” ื‘ืฉื•ืง ื”ื™ืจืงื•ืช ืฉื ืžืฆื ื‘ืคื ื™ื.

Pretty standard large bustling market in central Paramaribo. It's fun wandering around and checking out some of the stalls. It didn't seem too intimidating - I felt fine exploring on my own and taking lots of photos.

Not the best market, but not the worst either. There's a ton of local vendors selling their fresh local goods, as well as some home made remedies. I even bought a local Suriname soccer jersey there at a good price!

This is a typical third world looking market that looks like it's riddled with vermin because it is in all likelihood. We're talking about one hell of an eye sore. Any foreigners, in case you see a tour company offering some kind of walking tour that involves this market or any market for that matter - avoid like the plague. Just don't come here altogether...

I'm really not sure why tourists are so crazy about it. I found nothing special. Saw many markets, this is just an extremely dirty one with back alleys and repetition of same products no end. Little variety. I hope my impression is linked with the start of the season and not so many...
