Meet Iris! 👋🐟 She’s been an integral part of our team for 9 amazing years, and today she’s showing off a spectacular catch.

​This beautiful yellowfin tuna was caught 90 miles off the coast of Ocean City, MD, by Capt. Brandon Harrington aboard the F/V Avery Branch.

It’s only at this time of year that we get to see such incredible, local tuna brought right to our door.

​We are open until 4:00 PM today (July 4th)

Come on down, say hi to Iris, and grab the ultimate local catch for your holiday grill. 🇺🇸✨

​Happy 4th of July everyone! 🎉

🎣 Want to win a FREE fishing trip? Let’s clean up the Bay!

Maryland DNR is giving away an epic chance to hit the water, but there’s a massive reason behind this promotion: our beloved Chesapeake Bay is under siege.

Wild blue catfish are aggressive, invasive apex predators. They are breeding at an alarming rate and eating everything in sight—completely wiping out the native baby rockfish, blue crabs, and white perch that make our ecosystem thrive and our local seafood so iconic.

By jumping in on the Reel in the Blues Bonanza, you're helping us get these gluttons out of our waters to give our local species a fighting chance.

🎟️ The Prize: 100 free blue catfish charter trips (valued up to $1,500 each!) sponsored by MS DNR.

Let’s get out there, reel 'em in, and protect the Bay we love! 🌊🐟

My absolute go-to breakfast at least a couple of days a week 🤌 Standard toast just doesn't cut it anymore. Testing out the Sardines with Hot Pepper from today and it hits the spot perfectly.

What’s your ultimate tinned fish pairing? 👇

The Salmon Cheesesteak 🐟🧀

​Fair dinkum, if you haven’t wrapped your laughing gear around this one yet, are you even doing lunch right?

​The Salmon Cheesesteak is officially the GOAT at The District Fishwife. We’ve been slinging these beauties for years, and they still fly out the door faster than a kangaroo on a hot tin roof. It’s easily our most popular sandwich for a reason.

​What’s the go?

​Fresh Atlantic Salmon tossed in our top-secret seasoning (the recipe is under lock and key, mate)

​Grilled peppers and onions for that classic crunch.
​Melted provolone cheese because everything is better with a bit of stretch.

​Finished with a hit of lime crema to keep things zingy.

​It’s a proper ripper of a feed. Whether you’re a regular or a first-timer, this is the one you reckon you’ll be thinking about all week.

​Swing by and grab one—no worries! 🤙

What fish is Fiona holding? Cheap, cheerful, and bloody delicious, you'll find it in our cases this weekend until it’s gone.

Giving the popular crowd like tuna and salmon a bit of a breather and tucking into a wider variety of species helps take the pressure off our oceans, keeping the ecosystem balanced and our fish stocks healthy for the long haul.
