fishing ports
Where boats unload
Fishing ports are harbors where commercial fishing vessels dock to unload their catch, resupply, and shelter.
These ports typically feature fish markets, processing facilities, and repair services for boats.
Some fishing ports have evolved into tourist destinations while maintaining their working character: The fishing ports of New England still auction fresh cod each morning.
