Time Out says

Built by fifth-generation fishmongers, this Greenpoint market and restaurant focuses on sustainability, from responsible fishing practices to celebrating the nutritious, oft-overlooked offcuts of fish. Their seafood can be found in kitchens all over the city and served up in their own charming dining space. 

The vibe: Their half-market, half-restaurant model makes for a bustling meal that might make you forget you’re just blocks from the G train. Grab a seat indoors or out, order up impossibly fresh East Coast oysters from the raw bar or a lobster roll dripping with butter, and finish off the New England cosplay with a $6 can of Narragansett. 

The food: Both lunch and dinner keep it casual, with lobster bisque and New England clam chowder, Cape Cod poutine doused with chowder and a list of sandwiches including lobster rolls, tuna burgers and a classic fried fish dressed with tartar sauce. Even their salads feature seafood, with herring dressing on a Caesar and octopus nestled in fennel. 

The drinks: Go for the ‘gansett or one of the beers on tap; we’re also partial to the Clamato Michelada, made with Narragansett (naturally), briny Clamato and a dash of Tabasco and lime. 

Time Out tip: Score East Coast oysters at $2 a pop during happy hour, which runs until 6pm every day.
