Swanson’s Fish Market to close after four decades in Fairfield

FAIRFIELD — After more than 40 years of selling fresh seafood in Fairfield, family-owned Swanson’s Fish Market will be closing its doors for good. Owner Gary Swanson and his family are preparing to shut down the Fairfield-based fish market at 2439 Black Rock Turnpike on New Year’s Eve after a nearly 45-year run. “It’s really became a landmark here in Fairfield,” said Swanson’s daughter, Larrissa, who has been assisting with the daily operations of the store. Swanson’s father, Gerard “Gerry” Swanson, started the business in Fairfield in 1973 after he came to the U.S. from Sweden. The original location was near the former Angus Steakhouse before the family moved down the street.
