The Lansing City Market has added a
new vendor,
City Fish. "The opportunity was there," says co-owner Stephen Joseph.
City Fish resides in a 17 ft by 14 ft space in the
new City Market Building, located at 325 City Market Dr.
"We try to put emphasis on Great Lakes fish," Joseph says of City
Fish's offerings. "Everything from the Great Lakes is available or can
be ordered." A large cooler houses a cornucopia of fresh fish by the
register, which is restocked every two days.
Joseph handles all of the
duties himself. "We wanted someone full time," he says, adding that he
hopes to add additional staff soon.
City Fish's offerings are not limited to the bounty of the Great Lakes
either. "We will be adding beer and wine," says Joseph. City Fish also
sells many all natural Michigan organic foodstuffs, including the
Honey Boy Bob line of products. Specialty chip dips are also available, and are kept in the cooler along with the fish.
"Trout is pretty popular," Joseph says when asked which of his fish is
the best seller, but he adds that whitefish is another favorite. City
Fish can also special order fish for customers, Joseph explains as he
points to a full red snapper in the cooler waiting to be picked up by a
customer.
