Fishs Eddy, stylized with no apostrophe, is a dinnerware, flatware and glassware retailer originally based in Gramercy Park, NY that specialized in found dishes and serving pieces.

History
Fishs Eddy was founded in 1986, when founders and current owners Julie Gaines and David Lenovitz got lost in Upstate New York and stumbled upon a small town of the same name. Gaines and Lenovitz discovered an old barn during that trip that had stockpiled restaurant dishware that had survived a fire. They offered to buy the whole lot, took it back to their apartment in Manhattan and used the inventory to open a store near Union Square.

Aesthetic
Fishs Eddy is known for offering archive and antique dinnerware, including plates and cups purchased from American Airlines and the Syracuse China Corporation. The company also produces some of its own dinnerware.
