We accompanied a local fishmonger to the new Fulton Fish Market. Here’s what we found
It’s 3 a.m. and I’m standing in the bustling parking lot of the New Fulton Fish Market at Hunt’s Point in the Bronx, New York. I’m waiting for Steve Sclafani, the owner and principal fish buyer for Peter’s Fish Market, a fresh fish shop that has been in Midland Park for 49 years. Sclafani has agreed to let me accompany him on this late-night or early-morning shopping trip to the nation’s biggest fish market. As I wait in the dark, I’m having some thoughts (some of them second). My first thought was that I have finally made it to this amazing place, though maybe 18 years too late. The original Fulton Fish Market was at the tip of Manhattan down by the Brooklyn Bridge. Video, 19 photos, >click to read< 09:49
