The Southwest Marina and Fish Market

When I first moved to Washington, I got some advice from a colleague (single, like me) who told me tht I should never, ever go out with any man who lived on a boat at the Soutwest Marina. 

"They're all weird!"  she exclaimed.

Years later, I ignored that advice for a few weeks, and discovered this whole community of people who lived on boats.  And, yes, they were a bid odd, but it was an interesting experience.

One thing I've learned to love about this little corner of the city is the fish market.  It's set up as dozens of barges full of fresh seafood.  Some of them even cook it for you.  So whether it's crabs, lobsters, halibut or whatever, this is a fun place to come to get it!

The fish market is on Maine Avenue, under the overpass where I-95 funnels traffic into Washington.
