Fish & Farm Market at Boston Fish Pier

Mass Farmers Markets, a nonprofit that supports locally grown food, runs the Fish & Farm Market on the historic Boston Fish Pier. The market sits at Seaport Boulevard and D Street, turning the South Boston Waterfront into a community stop for Boston seafood beside farm produce, meats, cheeses, breads, and specialty foods. Rocky Neck Fish sells finfish, lobster, shellfish, and smoked fish from the pier, while farms bring vegetables, mushrooms, maple, and honey, and cooks offer Argentinian empanadas, mille crepes, and Brazilian coffee roasted in Cambridge.

Our take: Split the stop between Rocky Neck Fish on the pier and a hot specialty stall such as Che Empanadas or Celes Confections.
