The business is now owned by Chris and Erika Thompson, Swan’s sister and her sister’s husband. The Thompsons also own Northway Meals, a food delivery service located out of Clifton Park.
Swan told NEWS10 that she and her partner, Pete Kenyon, started Fin – Your Fishmonger about 17 years ago, selling wholesale and then appearing at farmer’s markets. Upon seeing a want for their fresh fish during the winter, the duo started selling fish out of their truck in parking lots before opening their brick-and-mortar location in Guilderland in 2010.
Swan and Kenyon had been talking about selling the business for a while. They had originally planned to open a second Fin – Your Fishmonger location, but after Swan was diagnosed with breast cancer, that changed. While Swan is now healthy, they decided it was a good time to sell the business.
