The Herring Mart opened in 1892 to give shelter and office space to local fish salesmen. It was the first of its type in the country and as far as we know, is the only one still in existence. In the herring fishing days samples of the catch were brought from the vessel to the fish salesmen to be auctioned in the veranda area.
The building is preserved and maintained by the Wick Society. This Doors Open Day, you are invited inside to see demonstrations of ropework and historic household pieces.
We believe The Herring Mart is the only building of its kind still in existence.
Accessible with assistance.
