There were times when the sale of ice was more profitable than the sale of fish but it was soon recorded that Lapointe Fish claimed over 75 percent of the retail fish trade.

In 1874 Lapointe Fish was advertised as "Game and Fish Dealer - Purveyor to His Excellency,the Governor General."

The business was first established in the old Lower Town Market building. When that structure was destroyed by fire in 1883, the store was moved to the new By Ward Market building.

Having watched other businesses come and go, Lapointe Fish has always been ready for change and growth. 25 years ago it was moved to its present location on By Ward Market by Eric Vivian Jr., who took over from his father in 1972.

By remaining true to the high standards set by its founder more than a century ago, Lapointe Fish continues to be regarded by many as Ottawa's headquarters for fish and seafood.
