Boston Fish Pier - wholesale seafood hub since 1914

The Boston Fish Pier, completed in 1914 at the Seaport waterfront, was built to centralize and modernize the city's wholesale fishery operations and remains a principal distribution center for New England seafood. The pier complex historically accommodated auction houses, processing facilities, and cold storage, supporting the region's commercial fishing fleet and seafood trade. Its operation shaped Boston's role in the regional seafood industry throughout the 20th century.
