Fresh seafood vendor coming to 2nd Street Market
Starting April 2 — assuming no last-minute glitches — Springboro-based Oceanwide Seafood will become a full vendor and begin selling fresh seafood at the National City 2nd Street Market at 600 E. Second St. in Dayton.
“This has been a missing piece for us that we’re very happy to fill,” said Jimmy Harless, marketing manager for the market. “We think they’ll be a big attraction.”
Dale Hartlage, Oceanwide’s president, said he was impressed by the market’s knowledgeable clientele and believes a fresh-fish market will be a good fit.
The seafood shop will be open whenever the market itself it open: 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday and Friday, and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, when the largest crowds flock to the market’s vendors. It will offer fresh fish such as salmon, grouper, tilapia and catfish as well as prepared items such as Cajun crab salad, Hartlage said.
Oceanwide took over the former Midwest Seafood facility at 475 Victory Drive in Springboro after Midwest closed in 2007. It distributes seafood to area restaurants and grocers and operates a retail shop that is open Tuesday through Saturday at the Springboro location.

We find it hard to find game fish such as: bullgill, crappies and also fresh tuna. Could you possibly carry those? If so, we will be there. Also, Walleye is a great fish for us. Thank you.

you can’t get fresh seafood in dayton…don’t believe the hype…fresh means…”caught the same day you buy it”…the crap you get here is at least five to seven days old…previously frozen…and sold fresh to the people that don’t know any better

Since lobster prices are at 20-year lows, how about some good deals?

Awesome! We want US wild caught shrimp and crawfish. Thanks - if you carry that we’ll be there.

That’s great news, but don’t forget Arcade Seafood is still downtown, too! They can sell fish and shrimp by the pound.

This is welcome news! I’ve said seafood was the only thing missing at the market for a while. Now I rarely will have to visit the grocery!

I am SO excited for this, I have been hoping a seafood place would open there! I agree with MC, please carry seafood that does not contain harmful preservatives… Also, if you have shrimp from China (blech!) that’s fine, people eat it cause it’s cheap but if you have gulf shrimp, I’m there!
