but those stores smell though
when i was in vancouver, it was so much nicer..
i could go to lonsdale key..and get fresh fish without worrying about anything..

St. Lawrence Market. The name of the store is Seafront Fish Market. Best seafood I've had in a long time. They have great tuna steaks and Chilean Sea Bass, among other things. 416-365-0086.

St. Lawrence Market is good as well
Sydney Fish Market is soooo much better! Give me the peel and eat prawns mmmmm....
1 kilo for $6 AU, or oysters, 1 kg for $8ish AU and get to watch tourist's infants accost pelicans -funny (funnier when pelicans retaliate!)
<------ me in Sydney

awww.thanks jay!
how do i get there with toronto mighty transit system??

 

[djcheezwhiz]

hey kumi

actually i think the intake of fish goes up exponentially the closer you are to the ocean...tuna is my dietary staple, but unfortunately as much as i love fresh fish, i don't buy it often enough to make recommendations (outside of janes frozen lemon pepper cod)...

Take the subway to King station, walk south along Yonge to Wellington. Head east on Wellington until you get to the St. Lawrence market. Wellington merges with Front, and the market is at the corner of Front and Lower Jarvis. It's maybe a 10 minute walk from the subway, tops. When you walk in the main doors of the market, keep going straight until you get to Seafront. It's fifth or sixth store on the right in that aisle, right after the Placewares store.

hehe..i had a raw fish debut when i was back in japan this feb.
till then, i never ever ate raw fish!
only carp fish cause i know they are safe and my dad cooks a good carp (his restaurant )

or tobiko on top of the california rolls..

but wow...fresh raw fish taste good!

i do not think they would taste as good here cause i know that most of them are once frozen ..(talking of the sushi you can get in toronto)..or i would need to go to a nicest restaurant here to eat good raw fish.

anyway, tonite, what i wanna do is cook fish..not eat raw fish..but i want it fresh..

There's only one way to eat yellowtail IMO...and it doesn't entail cooking.

North York: 180 Steeles Ave W. (416) 223-2161
Scarborough: 1295 Kennedy Rd. (416) 757-3281
I've never been to either of these locations

Some of my fish came from Menagerie.. they're at 549 Parliament.. (416) 921-4966

I've heard good things about equipment at PJ's Pet Centres.. but haven't heard much about the quality of their fish. They're at Yorkdale and I think the Scarborough Town Centre too.

Here are some fish store reviews

when i was in tokyo, i spent a few hours at the tokyo fish market, where all the resaurants buy their fish.
the place is vast - i didn't see the same stall twice - and the craziest creatures you didn't even know existed. it was one of the more intense experiences of my life.
