Southwest Waterfront Fish Market

The southwest waterfront has a number of mediocre restaurants and bars, but it also has a colorful and lively seafood market.


This is a spot that not a lot of visitors to DC get to see, even though it is a very short distance from the Mall and the Smithsonian museums.  Some of the highlights are the bushels and bushels of blueshell crab, sorted by sex and size, still alive as they're being pulled out to fill orders.  If you're in DC on a weekend with a little extra time, this is definitely something different to see.
