WHY Very fresh fish at wholesale prices.

WHAT A no-nonsense wholesale fish market with slippery floors, no prices posted and no filleting—just whole fish on ice. But the quality is acclaimed. Get there early (between 6 and 9 a.m. on weekdays and 7 and 9 a.m. on Saturdays), know what you want, and bring cash.

WHO Chefs, restaurant managers, shop owners and a few intrepid home cooks.
