Where was the Fish Gate located?

Zephaniah 1:10 (ESV)

10 “On that day,” declares the LORD, “a cry will be heard from the Fish Gate, a wail from the Second Quarter, a loud crash from the hills.

The Fish Gate was most likely located in the northern part of Jerusalem (see 2 Chronicles 33:14; Nehemiah 3:3; Nehemiah 12:39). The name itself was probably inspired by the fact that fish from the Mediterranean or the Sea of Galilee were sold in this location.1
