I admit I was a little nervous about a fishmarket on Flatbush, but it seemed to be happening with regulars on my walk home so I decided to check it out. They've got a decent selection of fish and shrimp on ice, as well as a selection of fixins behind the counter. This ain't Whole Foods honey, so no descriptions about what's wild or farmed, fresh off the boat or been frozen, but it definitely felt safer than the mysterious meats and fishes in barrels at some of the nearby groceries. The fishmonger was a really sweet guy and pleasant to buy from. I'm sure if I had questions he would've been helpful, but I decided to play it safe and get two salmon steaks. Got two really nice sized portions and only paid about $7.80. If they're as good as they looked I got a great deal, if not I'll update my post!
Selection is mostly local varieties (snapper, salmon, perch, tilapia etc), most are whole fish but a few are sliced or in steaks, unfortunately no sashimi grade cuts but let's face it, I wasn't expecting there to be. Solid neighborhood joint, if my salmon steaks turn out well I'll definitely be back. read more
