Portland Fish Exchange

America’s first all-display fresh fish and seafood auction, operated in Portland, Maine. The Exchange offers a fair and open marketplace bringing together fishing vessels (sellers) with seafood wholesalers and processors (buyers). Fresh fish and seafood are unloaded from fishing vessels daily and displayed for buyers to make purchasing decisions. The auction is conducted at mid-day. Products purchased are destined for restaurants, markets, and processing plants within hours of vessel landings. This Web site is a good example of a fish market and auction.
