NEWSROOM & PRESS RELEASE
November, 2008 / Empire Fish Co. - Milwaukee, WI
To help celebrate the re-opening of our retail seafood market, the week of November 17th we're letting all of our seafood market guests take 10% off of everything in our market's stock.

The Empire Fish Company Seafood Market has the same blocks in the walls and concrete under the floor that it has for decades. And that's about it!
To better serve our customers and offer the best products and services possible, we've changed everything from the market's functional layout to the lobster tanks, freezers, and fresh display cases. Now, while our market guests make selections from Milwaukee's premier fresh seafood case, they can peer beyond the counter to see the fresh seafoods being hand-cut and prepared for kitchens of some of the area's top chefs.
