fish market

Where cod's sold

A fish market is a place where fish and seafood are bought and sold, typically featuring fresh catches displayed on ice.

Fish markets range from wholesale operations where restaurants source inventory to retail markets where consumers shop: We picked up salmon at the fish market this morning.

The term evokes freshness but also the distinctive smell of such places.
