Since we’re still on yellow for Jude this week, I’m going to use this one. After all, it’s Lent, although maybe that means I should post it on Friday. 🙂 If you go to Reading Terminal Market (and that would be pronounced “Reding” not like reading a book) in downtown Philadelphia, you might stop at John Yi’s market for some fresh fish. There’s a lot more to see at the Market as well but try to avoid the weekends when you might have difficulty pushing through and lines are everywhere.

I haven’t had fish in a while, I should find a fish place.
My location: South Africa
What kind of fish do you like?
janet
I think haddock because that’s the one commonly served at fish and chips restaurants. I don’t know much about fish.
There was a place near us when we lived in Illinois that had outstanding fish and chips every Friday. The chips were the kind that are simply thinly sliced potatoes and you had to eat them first while they were hot and crispy. We miss that place!
I hope you spot a place that has something close to that or even better fish and chips.
Yellow Fin Tuna would be appropriate for Friday.
I guess Lent is an appropriate time for fish, especially if you’re Catholic.
I thought I recognized that sign. Ive been to that market a number of times. Not for fresh fish, but for a nice break from conference food at the convention center.
It’s almost next door, so an easy stop. Lots of goodies at that market but it can really get packed around lunchtime!
One year, I was staying in the Residence Inn. After a reception at the conference, where I had quite a few appetizers, I stopped there and took some stuff back that I could just warm up later. I always enjoyed going there.
I do too and Bieiler’s has the best doughnuts 😉
My favorite market
It’s a great place, isn’t it? I love going there as long as it’s not too crowded.
It’s been years since I lived there but passing through the area I stop there to buy Italian cookies
Your post brings back very fond memories… no trip into Philly on the Reading Railroad (now part of SEPTA) was ever complete until a loop through the market was done. I remember doing that with my Grandmother, Dad, and with friends when I was old enough to go into town on my own! My most vivid memory was seeing chickens hanging heads down at a meat counter. My Grandmother did her best to soothe my tears away by gently explaining the process of draining the blood… I think I would have preferred the fish!
❤️. I’m happy to bring back some good memories, Jane.
Or mostly good ones. 😉
I’m hungry. 🙂
I really like neon signs and this one is a beauty, with the bright words, fish, and wavy water line. Sounds like a great market, too.
Yes, still in the yellow!
It’s Lent..again! But I didn’t borrow anything!
Is that a politically incorrect joke? I just made it up.
It may be politically incorrect to someone, heaven knows there are enough PC and “woke” people around getting offended at every little thing, but I’m not offended. 🙂
