About Washington Fish Market
Serving Paterson with Freshness and Pride Since 1982
Welcome to Washington Fish Market! For over four decades, our family-owned market has been a cornerstone of the Paterson, New Jersey community. Founded in 1982, we built our business on a simple, unchanging promise: to provide our neighbors with the freshest, highest-quality seafood at prices that keep families coming back generation after generation.
Our Seafood Standard
We believe that great meals start with great ingredients. That is why we source our seafood daily, ensuring that every whole fish, salmon steak, crab, and shrimp on our ice is as fresh as it gets. Whether you are planning a Sunday family dinner, a backyard seafood boil, or looking for specialized frozen and dried varieties for traditional recipes, we have you covered.
