The District Fishwife

"Union Market stall District Fishwife’s best-selling fish and chips can be assembled separately with orders of beer-battered Atlantic Dogfish, homemade tartar sauce, fries, and slaw. Opt for Icelandic cod loin for $1 more. Order online for takeout or delivery." - Tierney Plumb

"While you can buy fish straight out of the display case at this Union Market stall, their inventive seafood dishes like their salmon cheesesteak are why you come here. Enjoy your food at the counters or communal table right by the stall, or head upstairs to Hi-Lawn where you can pair it with lawn games, firepits, and drinks." - tristiana hinton

"The District Fishwife market and cafe serves inventive seafood dishes like a juicy salmon cheesesteak, and everything is great. But the bright, fresh fish bowl is what keeps us coming back. It’s packed with leafy greens, perfectly cooked quinoa, red cabbage slaw, and celery, then topped with your choice of salmon or shrimp (get the salmon). The tangy cilantro lime green sauce gives it a citrusy kick that brings the whole dish together. This is the kind of meal that fills you up, but you somehow feel lighter after eating.
