If you are a Member looking for your exact Pickup Site address or host contact information, please check your email for details! For security reasons, this page does not have exact locations.
Pickup Sites are divided into two groups, Narwhal and Seadragon, with pickups on alternating weeks.
Read more about our Policies on our FAQ
We do not offer compensatory shares or refunds if you miss, forget, or are unable to make your pickup.
You can make arrangements for a friend to pick up for you, or let us know and we can donate your share to a student or mutual aid organization.
If you unexpectedly miss your pickup, please contact your host directly to coordinate. Your host may not be able to accommodate you at another time, and your seafood may no longer be available after 48 hours.
Please also know that Fishadelphia may change pickup day/times due to weather and other events.
After you buy a Membership, you get a series of introductory emails. The email titled "Fishadelphia Pickup Details..." includes your exact Pickup location, and your Pickup Schedule (the first date listed is your first Pickup date).
Your first Pickup will be usually about a week or two after you signed up.
Do not look at the "fulfillment dates" on your subscription page.
If you have a Membership but can't find your Pickup Details, please contact us!

Due to weather or other events (like when the Eagles won the Superbowl!), we may occasionally reschedule pickup on short turnaround. In those circumstances, we will communicate with you, but we cannot offer refunds because we’ve already ordered your seafood beforehand. You are always welcome to have a friend pick up your share for you, coordinate with your cooler host, or donate your share to our mutual aid network.

Public transit: Bus: 43, 49
Site Description: The coolers are in an open bike shed on the right side of the house behind a garden in the front yard.
Accessibility:
✓ Street parking or double park in front of the house if need be
⚠ To get there, either take two regular steps up or go up a fairly gentle grass slope next to the front garden.
⚠ There's no light under the shed, so having a phone or flashlight will help you find your share after dark.
⚠ When it is icy, it is better if you follow the paved path next to the next neighboring house entrance (5020). The host will do their best to shovel/de-ice.
♥ If you have limited mobility to walk up steps and the grass slope is too snowy/icy/slippery, let the host know in advance and they can probably arrange to bring your share down to the sidewalk.
