"Chris Nelson, who curates fresh seafood from around the world, has earned a reputation as the city’s best fishmonger. Besides snagging pristine retail fish for supper, customers drop by for a rotating selection of ready-made seafood dishes, which might include poke, ceviche, chowder, salmon banh mi, or a lobster roll to rival any in New England. Don’t miss the oyster and raw fish platters, composed of whatever is fresh and on hand that day. Even better: Now there’s a second location in North Scottsdale. Must-try dish: Part fish market, part lunch counter — go for the buttery lobster roll and stay for the smoked salmon." - McConnell Quinn
