Excellent place to buy fresh fish and it does not get any fresher than “THIS,” I assure you! LOL! The fishermen coming in each day from fishing, unload their catch right here on the dock ( you “HAVE TO COME TO ROCK HARBOR”...unlike any place else, I PROMISE YOU!) and bring right over to this neat little store to be sold, on the spot! They also cook up fresh fish( fried cod when we went and scrumptious...we ate it on breakwater that stretched into the sea, watching the fishing boats leave for their twice daily excursions out to sea) right there! It is such a scenic little fish Mkt., there all of 50 yrs anyway with an impeccable reputation! Their prices are excellent and loved making stuffed quahogs with their fresh catch that day! Yum! Yum! Great prices, great selection and fresher than fresh fish! It doesn’t get any better than that!
6. Yak Arts

Yak Arts is a family owned and operated destination that displays an eclectic collection of treasures in over 3000 square feet. The business has been providing customers on the Cape with curiosities, fine art, jewelry, and furniture for over 20 years. For us, 'Yak Arts is more than just a retail space, it's a way of life'. The current location is a building which can be identified as the Yellow House of Orleans. Built in the mid 1850s it has a long history as a home and family property. As the owners we carry on that tradition by living on site as well as working here. The youngest daughter Heather spent the majority of her childhood growing up in this house. With our family mentality, on any given day you can expect to see one of the owners in the store. Beyond the fact that we are inviting you into our home, our product selection is taken very personally. To sustain our immense collection we travel primarily to Asia and Europe, each item in our store carefully hand selected from one of our adventures. By traveling ourselves and importing directly from the artists there is no purer form of fair trade. This enables us to know our product, and our people. That means that it has a story behind it, we know the crafts people who made the item, and the materials that went into it or the history of the antique and where it was acquired. So stop by, and explore - we are OPEN YEAR ROUND!

Have been going to Yak Arts every year, for the last 10 years during our annual visit to the Cape. Run don't walk to get here especially if you have curious and adventurous teens and young adults in your group. We and our (now older children) love to stroll through the many rooms of this quirky shop and over the years have purchased antique jewelry, silver items as well as art work and small kitsch (just for fun). In our most recent trip we amused ourselves with the baskets of small hand-held musical instruments made in Indonesia. You can find antique cameras, pottery, housewares here as well as to unique items from Indonesia.
