  Fulton Fish Market - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was not uncommon for fish to be rushed to Fulton Fish market from fishing ports in New England where it may be resold to be taken back to some of the same towns in which it originally landed.
In July 2005 the market was scheduled to be moved to a modern $85 million, 400,000-square-foot facility with better access to major highways in Hunts Point[1] in the South Bronx.
Fulton Market is at the East end of Fulton Street near the East River, and the Washington Market is on the West end, near the North River.
