Portland Fish Pier
The Portland Fish Pier is a fishing pier located in Portland, Maine on the edge of the Fore River. It is a major hub for the commercial fishing industry, and is home to the Portland Fish Exchange, where over 20 million pounds (9,000 tonnes) of seafood a year are bought and sold. A fishermen's memorial is also located at the Pier.
Due to the heavy commercial fishing industry presence, there is no ferry service at the Portland Fish Pier. Instead, the Casco Bay Ferry arrives and departs from the nearby Maine State Pier.
