Fulton Fish Market
Fulton Fish MarketHome : Travel : New York : One Vignette
If you get down to the South Street Seaport (just south of the
Brooklyn Bridge) at 5:00 am, you'll find hundreds of New York City
restaurateurs and fish mongers.
After a particular swordfish is chosen, there is a little wrestling action.
Even if you have a big knife, it might not be big enough for a 1000
lb. fish. Perhaps you need a fish saw.
You see a lot of people weighing things.
Maguro sushi?
How would you like to work with iced fish in an open-air market when the
temperature is 20 deg. F outside?
A little stroll across the Brooklyn Bridge at sunrise should get your blood moving again.
And afterwards you can go the Battery to catch the Circle Line boat to
the Statue of Liberty and the new Ellis Island museum.
