fishmonger's

Where cod's sold

Fishmonger's is the possessive form of fishmonger, a person who sells fish.

It most commonly appears in the phrase fishmonger's shop or simply the fishmonger's, referring to a retail establishment where fresh fish and seafood are sold.

This usage, where the possessive stands alone to mean a shop or business, is characteristic of British English: I stopped by the fishmonger's for some cod.
