Update from The Wharf:

“Today, Jessie Taylor Seafood began the process of expanding their seafood business with the addition of a new barge at the Municipal Fish Market at #TheWharfDC.

Owned and operated by the Evans family for nearly 90 years, Jessie Taylor Seafood is the longest-tenured vendor at the Market. Recently they completed a long-term renewal of their lease which will extend their business at The Wharf for at least another 20 years.”

Thanks to Emma for sending: “Spotted Jessie Taylor Seafood being tugged down the Anacostia, near Buzzard Point this morning. Pretty cool! Maybe they’re filling the vacant spot at the fish market?”

And thanks to Natasha Rankin for also capturing the scene this morning:

Ed. Note: On November 4, 2021 the main Captain White’s Seafood City barge departed from the Wharf. Updates when we learn where it’s going.
