fishmarket

Where catch sells

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

The term can describe anything from a small shop to a large commercial trading floor where wholesalers buy from fishing boats.

Fishmarkets are often located near harbors or waterfronts: We bought shrimp at the fishmarket this morning.
