New Deal Seafood

Got sushi? Even better - try making your own. I have to admit that I was a bit intimidated the first time I made my own sushi. But thanks to the New Deal, they made it easy and now I'm hooked! This place has the best seafood for making sushi and sashimi without killing your budget. They also carry all of the fixings for it, including ikura (salmon roe), tobikko (flying fish roe), rice, nori, wasabi, pickled ginger, and so on. \r \r If sushi is not for you, they also carry a wide assortment of seafood, including whole fish and beautiful cuts of salmon, tuna, swordfish and exotic fishes from around the world, i.e. sardines, anchovies, baby octopus, red mullet, grouper and red snapper, just to name a few. Quite impressive selection and I was told that the variety changes daily. \r \r A family-run market. Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. You won't be disappointed. Pros: Great selection of sushi quality seafood Cons: Go early for best selections - Saturdays: Long lines, wait time (but worth it) more

I accidentally discovered this small fish market and have made it a point to shop there at least a couple of times a month. I mean where else do you get sashimi grade salmon for $12? That's what Whole Foods charges for regular salmon (not sashimi). In fact everything in the store is sashimi grade. Because of it, don't expect to get every kind of fish every day--they only sell things that were the freshest that morning. The owners are very knowledgeable so I have often turned to them for advice on what new fish I should try and how to prepare it. Pros: superior quality at great prices Cons: selection may be limited depending on what freshest fish is available (that can also be thought of as a plus) more
