Go Fish

The tiny fish market/take-out called Fish Store near Grace and College opened some 7 or 8 years ago. Before Subway, Pita a Go Go, Ghazale and others came, it was one of the first non-Chi-Chi food places in Little Italy. Unfortunately, it was also one of those places that you keep meaning to try but never do.

Almost a decade later, on a sunny holiday Monday morning, I decided it's time to try some fish from here. The inside was even tinier than I thought. There was room to display some filet for purchase, a cash register, a grill, and 2 small tables which can seat maybe 5 if everybody squeezed in. It so happened that they were already occupied by a group of teenagers (is this a thing for teens now? Eating healthy fish sandwiches.) So I got my Arctic Char sandwich to go ($9.80 with tax), sat on the bench outside, and had lunch. The fish was nicely grilled, and the leafy greens were fresh.

It wasn't exceptional food but this take-out has reasonable prices and a good selection. With more than 10 types of fish, you get more choices than most restaurants except sushi joints. Besides sandwiches, you can also get fish wraps, fish with brown rice and veggies ... you get the idea.
