Maine Ave Fish Market Washington DC - Episode 126

[@explorer1968]

More than grateful to you, Paul!, now I can show The Wharf to my nephew who was asking me if I got some video of the place.

[@Realunitedstates]

+halfgeekpartyboy1968 That wonderful. I am so glad to hear this, and I appreciate the share!! This is one of my favorite places, and we really had a good time making this. I try and get down there when I can.

[@Eusepio1957]

As an Italian from Naples who lives in a jump from the sea I have to say I always love to see something like this market of fish :-) Grazie!

[@Realunitedstates]

Eusepio1957 Thanks Ettore! We love this market, and it is a very popular place here. It is a little different atmosphere than what one finds in an American grocery store. At this market the vendors try very hard to engage people passing by in conversation to get them to buy. Thanks!Paul

[@TamzyTingz]

Eusepio1957 Hey there, Check out my DC wharf video 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKWXmoaAf89sf9k

[@briancalixx]

i love this place my dad always took me here since i was little

[@Realunitedstates]

It is a really fun place to shop. Thanks for joining us!

[@deathgod57]

Felt like I was watching the Travel Channel lol. great episode

[@Realunitedstates]

deathgod57 LOL! This is one of my favorite spots in DC! It was interesting that for the most part the bystanders didn't hardly seem to notice us, or care. I have to talk fairly loud for the microphone, and yet everybody seemed to just go about there business like I wasn't even there. Still, vlogging in public is not for the faint of heart! :D Thanks, Paul

[@Superman20000]

and to think that i don't eat any kind of seafood. :P Hey Paul, sorry i've been busy... these couple of weeks were kind of crazy for me, but here i am.. back again :).. I like how you say "thank you for watching".. i have said that phrase in random moments using your tone hahaha.. "thank you for watching"... it has something in it.

[@Realunitedstates]

***** Hey, good to hear from you! I am flattered that you've picked up on my signature closing. So even for those that don't care for seafood I though the history of the place was cool. Even I didn't know until I went to do this episode that it was the oldest in America. We're discovering a lot of things about DC we never knew before. Living here is a lot more interesting than just visiting! Paul

[@Superman20000]

and as always... Thank you for watching... yes i picked that up :D.. will you move to washington?

[@Realunitedstates]

***** Well, sort of. I am working in Washington now, and we are staying outside of the district, and we will move to more permanent quarters soon, but still not sure exactly where.

[@ZoiPana]

RealUnitedStatesVlog Looks awesome!!

[@nowone21]

Loved that! Mouth watering! Thanks Paul and Mrs.

[@Realunitedstates]

Joan Sholl Francis Thank you Joan! It truly is a mouth-watering sight to behold. I wish I could have captured the aroma, but then that is probably something best in context. :D We'll be shopping there this weekend for Thanksgiving! Paul

[@FirdausIdros]

As a fish lover, I could say this is a wonderful tour. Slightly vary compared to where do I live, but great products displayed from my view. My question is, are these products solely distributed locally? Cheers;))))

[@Realunitedstates]

Firdaus Idros thanks! As far as I know yes, these are only distributed locally. But I actually never thought to ask if they ship anything. I did not seen an sighs about shipping. I think due to the nature of the product that local, over-the-counter sales are the only practical way. Paul

[@sarachen1457]

How much do they sell bushel of crabs for?

[@Realunitedstates]

+Sara Chen I really don't know off the top of my head. I suspect it varies depending on season and other factors. You can contact them directly through their website captainwhitesseafood.com

[@sarachen1457]

+RealUnitedStatesVlog thank you very much for the link!

[@JiFan]

@@sarachen1457 I remember buying a bushel for like $28? But that was a good decade or so ago hahah

[@OysterNinjaPc]

I love the Wharf

[@Realunitedstates]

I do too! Although I haven't been there is a while now, I am looking forward to getting back there again soon. Thanks! Paul

[@OysterNinjaPc]

Yesterday I got some Crabs, crab legs and shrimp.

[@OysterNinjaPc]

Also what camera and mic are you using?

[@OysterNinjaPc]

Looks and sounds great.

[@Realunitedstates]

Sound delicious!.

[@chiefamylee]

Display looks so neat. What did you buy for dinner?:)

[@Realunitedstates]

chiefamylee Thanks! On that particular occasion we bought cod. It was exceptional, and quite different from what we have bought in the part of the grocery store. Going to get salmon here for Thanksgiving! :DPaul

[@MississippiWildlife]

Had tilapia last night on the grill. Not the best of fish. All in all the cook was brilliant ;)

[@Realunitedstates]

RantWithJeff Planning on some type of fish for Thanksgiving. So many kinds to choose from! I was really impressed with how fresh everything was. Paul

[@uruvilaathakarjanan9996]

Spanish Mackerel = WoW. slice them into chunks & mix Masaala-sambal paste(marinate for 10 mins) all over them & Pan Fry them = Delicious.🍤🍤🍤

[@Realunitedstates]

Sounds Great! Thanks.

[@Ahuntsicspotter]

Did you buy something in this fishmarket? Check out my 2 newest videos.

[@Realunitedstates]

Félix Maltchinski Yes we got a variety of seafood on one particular visit, and some excellent cod most recently. Both were great! I'll check out your recent stuff as soon as I can! Thanks! Paul

[@Ahuntsicspotter]

Thats good but I have also the video off the Jean-Talon market with some foods back in february 2013. I uploaded this video at that time.

[@mariaannalong]

When is the best time to come? To beat the crowd?

[@Realunitedstates]

mariaannalong Early morning is the best as nearly as I can tell. In the cold weather the crowds don't get real bad later, but in the spring and summer it gets packed by about noon. Thanks, Paul

[@trevon2151]

+RealUnitedStatesVlog Do they have crab and lobster or just fish? The fish market near my house only sell fish.

[@OysterNinjaPc]

Come early but the best deals are on Tuesdays. The freshest foods are Saturday morning.

[@hismommyy9725]

Early in the morning

[@rakelaa7234]

Can you please tell me are those fish wild caught? Or farm raise .thx

[@Realunitedstates]

I really don't know. And since I am relatively certain they come from multiple places and suppliers it would be impossible to say on any given product, at any given vendor, on any given day, unless one asked the vendor at the time of purchase.

[@rty900]

The place no longer exists since new building have been built

[@Realunitedstates]

No true. I was just past here last weekend, and it is still quite there. Admittedly there are a lot of new buildings AROUND it now, but the Maine Avenue Fish Market is still there and operating just fine.

[@OysterNinjaPc]

It’s still live and running my dad runs the raw bar now.
