Fish Market

A fishmonger wearing a white uniform arranges ice and seafood in a display case inside a fish market, seen through a window with “Fish Market” and “Anchor Bar” written on it.
A cozy bar with wooden beams, glowing string lights, high stools around a well-lit bar counter, slate tile floor, and shelves stocked with bottles behind the bar. The space is empty and inviting.
A table for two with white tablecloth is set with plates of food and drinks, positioned by arched windows in a brick-walled restaurant with wooden floor and chairs. Daylight streams through the windows.
A large cooked lobster on a white plate sits on a table with shrimp, crab legs, steak with vegetables, and glasses of red wine, white wine, and a pink cocktail. The setting appears to be an upscale restaurant.
A bar interior with several beer taps, red hanging lights, and a wooden counter. In the background, a poster advertises October events and drink specials. The setting is warm and inviting.
People dine on a balcony under green umbrellas at a restaurant called Fish Market. An American flag and another flag hang nearby, and a streetlamp and blue doors are visible.
