I've been going to Wholey's since I was very very young - as far back as I can remember as a matter of fact. Besides for some expansions and cosmetic upgrades here and there, the place has never changed. This is about as good as it gets when it comes to traditional markets. Besides for stocking up on the multitudes of fresh, unique and even bizarre seafood specialties, I would always get the fish and chips or a cup of those fried smelts at the hot-bar. They've been serving these since - well forever ago. Places like this give me the goosebumps in how real they are - don't expect anything pretty - no glitzie graphics, no wi-fi access, no keen-wa, no other latest and greatest "hipster" trends - just authentic awesomeness. This is the kind of place where you feel like you are truly living the Pittsburgh experience and it makes this city the great and unique place it is.
