Fish Shop
WASHINGTON, DC
Opened in April 2025
Fish Shop has opened its doors on Washington D.C.’s historic Wharf — a new restaurant where seafood, craftsmanship and art come together in a thoughtful, contemporary setting. Building on the success of the original in Ballater, Scotland, this transatlantic outpost celebrates the traditions of the Chesapeake Bay through responsibly sourced ingredients, low-waste design, and contributions from local makers. Greenway Associates were appointed as Cost Consultants for the project, with Dan Reid and Ben McCarthy leading our team to help deliver this creative and sustainability-led space.
THE CONCEPT
Fish Shop continues Greenway’s collaboration with Artfarm, following our recent work on Manuela in New York. As with that project, Fish Shop places equal emphasis on food, design and the creative spirit — this time celebrating the fishing traditions of the Chesapeake Bay and the artistry inspired by the sea.
At its core, Fish Shop is a tribute to the communities, materials and methods that shape coastal life. The space brings together responsibly sourced Mid-Atlantic seafood, low-waste interiors, and a rich visual identity shaped by artists and craftspeople from both sides of the Atlantic. From the 200-basket fish shoal suspended above the bar to the sea-inspired mural by local artists, every detail has been considered to reflect the restaurant’s coastal roots and environmental ethos.
