Introduction: Fresh food intake has been stimulated through several public policies. Over the last decades, research has been conducted on the spatial availability of stores that sell this type of food and their relationship with the population’s food consumption quality. Objective: This study has identified the distribution of stationary and itinerant fish commerce in Florianópolis, a city located in Southern Brazil. Also, we seek to associate the density (ratio of number of fish stores by inhabitants) in areas of different income levels. Methodology: Data were collected through secondary data in the records of the Municipal Sanitary Surveillance and in digital and printed telephone directories. For data spatialization, we used the Google Earth software®, which has shown the location of fish stores in 30 geographical areas. Results and discussion: The spatial distribution of fish marketing stores in Florianópolis does not address all the geographic areas, but the “Fish Truck,” characterized by itinerant marketing of fish, serves most of them. Although there was no statistical difference, the absolute and relative numbers (per inhabitant) of the stationary fish trade were higher, the higher the income of the geographical area. Conclusion: Future studies should be conducted to relate the environmental distribution of fish stores to the purchase and consumption of fish in Florianópolis.
