About Harbor Fish Market
Harbor Fish Market is a historic, family-owned seafood market headquartered in Portland, Maine. Founded around 1890 and operating under its current name since 1966, the market is owned by the Alfiero family and runs two retail locations — one at 9 Custom House Wharf in Portland’s Old Port and a second at 246 US Route 1 in Scarborough, Maine. The market serves both retail customers and wholesale clients, selling fresh fish, lobsters, and a wide variety of seafood. Because the breach involved financial account and payment card data, customers who made purchases at Harbor Fish Market may be at risk of financial fraud.
