Fish Market About
If You Love Fish…
Capt…Don’t miss the DC’s Maine Avenue Fish Market and stock up for your next blue crab boil or grab a slab of sushi-grade tuna to sear for dinner.
Reminiscent of the way markets were before the supermarket changed the way Americans shop, the Maine Avenue Fish Market is truly part of the old DC that has luckily not been eliminated by waterfront condo developments. Dating back to the late 1700s, the market has flourished as a place of city commerce for over 200 years.
The market is actually a group of floating barges permanently moored; a throwback to the earlier days, when barges would cruise up the Potomac full of fish and crabs to sell while tied along the waterfront. But with the economy and speed of refrigerated trucks, in the 1960s, the barges became permanent fixtures.
