Fulton Fish Market

Why They Love Working With Fish

It's amazing to see what the ocean produces. Sometimes you'll find a
fish that is normally a Pacific fish, that will make it through the
Gulf Stream, through the Panama Canal or all the way around South
America, like an opah, to the East Coast, which is so bizarre.
Sometimes a fisherman will catch a strange fish, send it to us and
say, "Please tell me what it is when you get it." - John Flanigan

This is fun. It's like Wall Street, except with fish. What's beautiful
about a fish being perishable is from a Monday to a Friday, the price
of a certain species can fluctuate hundreds of percent. So when you
buy it and when you sell it is very important. That's where the fun
part is. - Eddie Cruci

They say there is a curse in the fish market; once you start, you can
never leave. I tried a couple times, but you always find yourself
coming back. I did a little bit of college, but I found that I liked
doing this.

It's sort of like playing cards; always a gamble, always taking
chances. This is the second-oldest profession after prostitution, the
fish business. - John Flanigan

Every species has its own little nuance. There is so much mutation
over time. It's Darwinian: how to be more hydrodynamic, or how to be a
better predator, or be a better prey with camouflage, or fighting
mechanisms. - Eddie Cruci

I've learned a lot. Before, I was just into crabs and shrimp. Now I'm
into whiting, sushi. I've really developed a thing for squid, Alaskan
crab legs.

I don't know how these guys out here fillet. They're cutting fish, if
they slip, they cut off a finger, it's 10 degrees out, they're just
cutting away, it gets pretty crazy. I guess that's the appeal of it. -
Keith Nicolay

I'm very persnickety when it comes to fish. It's got to be white
fillet. I'm not a fish person. I didn't grow up liking fish. I still
don't like fish. I don't know how you can dig into a hearty piece of
fish; it's a delicate thing. I like McDonald's and Chinese food.
