In 1964, Paul Barber and two partners bought 2/3rds of an acre of land, east of the village of Mystic on Old Stonington Road, and with the help of a local carpenter built a fresh fish market. Paul opened The Cove Fish Market with the goal of providing the highest quality, local fish and seafood. Today, 43 years after its launch The Cove has become a Stonington institution.

In the early 80’s, an article “Making the Most of Mystic” in the New York Times, recommended “The best place in Mystic to buy seafood from the boat is The Cove. ” This reputation for the finest quality fish continues with new owners Zachary and Andrew Kowal.
