History

Established in 1974.

Fish has always been a DiFebo family staple. From Philip DiFebo’s great-​grandfather who was a fisherman in Italy to his grandfather who operated a fish market in Wilmington, Delaware on King Street, it was only a matter of time for this man to continue a proud family tradition. Philip opened Feby’s Fishery in June of 1974 on New Road in Elsmere, Delaware. At that time, Philip would wake up at 3am in order to drive to Cape May, New Jersey so that he could meet the fishing boats before dawn, haggle some deals, and haul his fish back to Elsmere by the store’s 9am opening! Of course now he has a much better way to make this happen. He sends his son on those early morning missions! Over 20 years later, the deals are easier due to the solid reputation Feby’s has built and the fish don’t come from just The Jersey Shore any longer; they are just as fresh as in the past, but the fish you see in the restaurant and store come from as close as New Jersey and as far as New Zealand!

Fish has always been a DiFebo family staple. Philip DiFebo’s great-​grandfather was a fisherman in Italy and his grandfather perated a fish market in Delaware. We have been serving the Freshest Seafood in Delaware since 1974.

As all things evolve, so did Feby’s. In 2002, Philip DiFebo had the idea to remodel the full-​service bar and the dining area to better serve his loyal following. In addition to the gorgeous dining area and bar downstairs, another dining area was added on the second floor to accommodate even more of the hungry patrons that have come to Feby’s to eat for over 35 years.
