River Fish Market Closes After 90 Years | Huntsville News
Description
The River Fish Market, Birmingham’s beloved seafood staple for nearly 90 years, has shut down for good — and its building is gone. More than just a fish joint, it was a community heartbeat, serving fried catfish, snapper sandwiches, and even selling its own seasoning to restaurants. Owner Wilson Crasta battled soaring electric bills and a crushing bureaucratic snafu: despite being in a food desert, he was repeatedly denied EBT and food stamp acceptance — a stark contrast to his predecessor, Carlos Yacoub, who had no such issues. Still, loyal customers — from politicians to regulars — kept coming, and Crasta even drove weekly to Atlanta for fresh catches. Though the physical spot is gone, Crasta’s dreaming of a comeback — maybe as a food truck — keeping the “for everybody” spirit alive.
