fishmonger

Sells ocean catches

A fishmonger is a person who sells fish, or the shop where fish is sold: I stopped at the fishmonger for some salmon.

The term is more common in British than American English, where "fish market" or "seafood counter" predominates.

Like other -monger words (ironmonger, cheesemonger), it sounds old-fashioned but remains in active use.
