where to buy good fresh fish?

on saturdays, the fish place at the green market in gap is quite good. otherwise, the fish counter at sea-land, the green grocer on flatbush, is also good. i think there's also a very good one on 7th ave in the slope but i don't usually go there.

I think Sea Land might be at 2nd or 3rd. If not, it's very near there an on the east (park) side of 7th.

I guess the fish shop on 7th I was thinking of is not Sea Land. I do not know the names of most markets around here

For future reference, if you have more time and the inclination to jump on the Q to Church Ave, there are a lot of fishmongers around there where you can get some great fish for low prices. They have whole fish in all sizes and you can see for yourself how fresh it is by looking at the eyes and the skin.

At some places they give you a bucket and a bag, you grab what you want and then they will fillet it, or just gut it and take the bones out if that is what you want. A tip is appreciated for this service and they do a much more thorough job than at the more expensive fish places in Manhattan and fancier parts of Brooklyn. Also, if you want an enormous fish, they have them. Also, freezer cases with stuff like octopus and crab legs.

in the 'nabe, i've never been disappointed, product-wise, by sealand on flatbush. that being said, i've also never been especially impressed, product-wise nor price-wise. which is still a good deal, i believe, for a convenient local fish monger. when i am more ambitious, i head to court street to fish tales; to asian fish market in bensonhurst on 86th and 18th ave (amazing seafood at ridiculously inexpensive prices); and a huge place in bay ridge with a name something like 'quarterflash,' but i havent been there lately.
