Smith Brothers Fish Shanty

The Smith Bros. Fish shanty located on the west slip in Port Washington’s harbor is a landmark to local citizens. It is the sole reminder of a once thriving fishing industry. Whitefish, chubs, perch and trout were processed through Port Washington for distribution nation wide. The building has been identified by a preservation consultant as being eligible for the national register of historic places. (Note: photo is before building restoration) Also see
