A fishermen's memorial is also located at the pier.
Due to the heavy commercial fishing industry presence, there is no ferry service at the Portland Fish Pier. Instead, the Casco Bay Ferry arrives and departs from the nearby Maine State Pier.
The pier stands across Commercial Street from Center Street and, on the waterfront side, between Merrill's Wharf (to the north) and Wright Wharf (to the south).[1][2][3][4]
The creation of the pier required the demolition of three wharves: Richardson's, Brown's and Smith's.[5] (Brown's Wharf is preserved in the name of the southernmost of the two entrances to the pier, opposite Maple Street.)[6]
