"Opened in 1805, The Municipal Fish Market at The Wharf—often simply called The Fish Market—is the oldest continuously operating open-air fish market in the United States, predating New York City’s Fulton Fish Market by 17 years.
Nestled between the Potomac River and the National Mall (1100 Maine Avenue SW, Washington, DC), this DC landmark is a true local gem. Choose from unique and vibrant seafood vendors, including Captain White’s Seafood City, Jessie Taylor Seafood and more. You can get fresh or cooked seafood: heaping bushels of blue crab, shucked oysters, clams, shrimp, and freshly caught fish. Stock up for special occasions, grab something for lunch or dinner, or walk over to one of The Wharf’s plazas or parks—or the Tidal Basin—for a scenic picnic. Whatever you do, don’t miss this hometown favorite, chock full of fresh seafood and local flavor." -https://www.wharfdc.com/fish-market/
