fish mongers

Vendors of catch

Fish mongers are people who sell fish, typically from a shop or market stall.

The term is standard in British English but sounds old-fashioned in American English, where "fish seller" or "seafood vendor" is more common: The fish monger recommended the fresh halibut.

A fishmonger's is the shop itself.

Usually spelled as one word: fishmonger.
