Bellingham Dockside Market
Bellingham Dockside Market serves as the hub for local fishermen in and out of Squalicum Harbor to sell their catch and harvest directly to you! Follow signs into Squalicum Harbor to buy seafood directly from the hardworking fishermen who catch it. Visit the dock early to ensure the best selection of seafood options, and head home with dinner--from the dock to your table!
HOW IT WORKS
Markets take place on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of the month from 10am-2pm, year-round.
Check the Bellingham Dockside Market Facebook page, Instagram, or newsletter prior to sale days to see which fishermen will be at the dock and what products will be available.
Head down to Squalicum Harbor and follow the signs to the market where fishermen await with their product! We set up outside at Gate 5 from June through October and inside the Fishermen's Pavilion (2599 S. Harbor Loop Drive) from November through May.
Pick your seafood, pay the fishermen directly, and head home with your delicious catch.
We're bringing you the best of our waterfront town: the Bellingham Dockside Market, an authentic connection to our local waters!
PRODUCT AVAILABILITY AND VENDORS VARY
Sometimes a storm rolls in, a mechanical issue pops up on a boat, or the fishermen aren't quite where the fish are swimming. Other times, it's all systems go with calm seas and the fish holds full! The operation of Bellingham Dockside Market will reflect these dynamic circumstances that our fishermen navigate. Fisheries are also seasonal, so every market looks a little different. We encourage you to visit during multiple seasons of the year to see our full range of vendors and their products!
In the last year we have added artists, crafters, and hot and prepared food vendors to our market. Now you can shop for seafood, enjoy a hot lunch, and do some gift shopping! All of our food vendors offer seafood options and all of our craft/artist vendors sell items related to the maritime/fishing theme of our market.
