Inscription. In a different time, Lexington Market was not only the place to get wild caught seafood from the Chesapeake Bay, but also wild game caught by hunters and trappers up and down the East Coast. In the late 1800s, market goers could get all manner of wild game—from ducks, pheasants, and geese to the more obscure like bear and terrapin. These days, Faidley's has been known to carry muskrat and raccoon on occasion…we hear they're great in a stew!
