Mirabella Fish Company - A Tampa Family
Located along the Riverwalk, this marker spots the location of the Mirabella Fish Company. Started in 1895 by Sicilian immigrant Sebastian Mirabella, it grew from selling fish from carts to a Fish Market, a restaurant and a fishing fleet. The business lasted through three generations before falling to progress in the guise of the Tampa Convention Center in 1985.
