The District Fishwife at Union Market is your premier source for fresh and sustainable seafood in the DMV area.
We are a full-service fishmonger and bring in fresh product daily, which we butcher in-house. We work with local and regional suppliers to ensure our customers can obtain the freshest seafood possible.
Our goal is to ensure you achieve the best possible result when cooking fish at home. A successful seafood meal begins with the freshness of our product, and we are happy to share ideas and provide advice every step of the way.
Our kitchen is open daily and offers a variety of made-to-order seafood dishes covering local and international favorites.
