Sanitary Fish Market & Restaurant, Morehead City, NC
“On February 10, 1938, two partners, Tony Seamon and Ted Garner, opened a fresh seafood market on the Morehead City waterfront. A small building had been rented from Charles S. Wallace for $5.50 per week with the understanding that no beer or wine would be sold and that the premises be kept clean and neat. The name "Sanitary Fish Market” was chosen by the partners to project their compliance.“
Still exists today Sells wine and beer now.
