Relocation of the Fulton Fish Market from South Street Seaport

The Fulton Fish Market operated for nearly two centuries at the South Street Seaport, centered around 89 South Street, as New York City’s major wholesale fish market. In 2005, the market's wholesale and auction operations were relocated to the Hunts Point Cooperative Market in the Bronx, ending the market's continuous wholesale presence at the historic South Street site. The move removed longstanding commercial activity from the Seaport waterfront and led to redevelopment and reuse of the former market buildings. Contemporary news reports and city records document the relocation as a major change in the city's seafood distribution geography.
