fish monger

Sells ocean catch

A fishmonger is a person or shop that sells fish.

The term is more common in British English than American, where "fish market" or "seafood counter" typically serves: I stopped by the fishmonger for some cod.

Like other -monger compounds (ironmonger, cheesemonger), it carries a slightly old-fashioned flavor in American ears.
