Fulton Fish Market
According to this New York Times article, at two in the morning, trucks head to Hunts Point, home to the Fulton Fish Market at 800 Food Center Drive. The market, now 202 years old, originally opened in Lower Manhattan in 1822 and moved to the Bronx in 2005. The market is a 400,000-square-foot shed, bustling with activity before dawn. It supplies 45% of the seafood used in New York City's five boroughs, with sales peaking around 3 a.m. The market offers a diverse range of seafood, from local catches like Maine lobsters and Long Island bluefish to exotic items like Sicilian gambero rosso and Tuscan branzino. From a mezzanine above, one can see the busy market floor, with fish laid out in cardboard boxes or metal trays. The market is largely wholesale, but individuals can also shop there for a small fee. Future plans include pop-up restaurants, a renovated waterfront, and an artist residency. The Fulton Fish Market remains a vital part of New York's seafood supply chain, attracting fishmongers from all over the tristate area.
