30 Years Of Commitment To Superior Fish And Seafood

Founded in 1969 by Ben Alfiero Sr., Harbor Fish Market is still in its original location on the water in Portland's historic waterfront district. Ben along with his three sons, Nick, Ben and Mike, has forged a unique seafood company, with high quality product, strong customer relationships, with a wide, abundant array of product. The Alfieros have committed to high quality fish and seafood across the entire operation. The adage, "if the product is not fresh enough for us to take home and prepare, then we are not going to sell it, period," has been our philosophy in the operation for years. By committing to these extremes in quality, Harbor Fish Market has set itself apart from other seafood companies, with its unique combination of high quality, wide selection, unparalleled service and customer satisfaction. The family has developed a very special and unique place to shop along with being a fun place to visit.
