The Fishmongers Daughter

The Fishmonger’s Daughter represents a new chapter in the 130-year legacy of John W. Faidley’s Seafood, a fifth-generation family-owned institution established in 1886. Originally starting as two stalls in Baltimore’s Lexington Market, the brand has evolved into a world-renowned culinary destination celebrated for its "Gold Standard" jumbo lump crab cakes.

Located in Catonsville, Maryland, this latest expansion features a premium fish marketplace, a full-service restaurant, a bar, a raw bar, and an event space. Set in a meticulously restored historic building, The Fishmonger's Daughter offers a sophisticated yet approachable dining experience rooted in our family’s traditions. We are committed to thoughtful hospitality, seasonal sourcing, and craftsmanship. We treat our employees and patrons like family while continuing to provide Chesapeake’s bounty to a new generation.
