Municipal Fish Market at The Wharf

Seafood market · Waterfront

"For a low-frills option, visit one of the numerous vendors at the Southwest Waterfront’s open-air seafood market that dates back to 1805. Family-owned Jessie Taylor Seafood offers frequent live crab specials and all sorts of fresh fish and shrimp. They can also cook and season your crabs after you purchase them. Get them by the dozen and enjoy them on the waterfront, or consider picking up a bushel for parties." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff
