"We’re not sure if Roosevelt’s economic stimulus plan involved sea breams or skate wings, but there’s plenty of both at this Cambridge seafood market. They’ve been open since 1928, and they’re still at it with a great selection of filets and whole fish. Plus, they’ve got a nicely curated pantry section with rice, pasta, olive oil, and tinned seafood. The fishmongers are happy to provide you with recipes and cooking tips, which is particularly useful for those of us new to the high collagen pleasures of skate wings. " - joel ang, tanya edwards

They have amazingly fresh seafoods! I got mussels from them last week, and I appreciate how the staff made sure that all the mussels were alive when being sold. The mussels from New Deal are also way fresher than those you’d get at Whole Foods. I made white wine garlic mussels dishes twice in a week and the quality of mussels from New Deal is distinctly better. I will never buy mussels at Whole Foods again (half of the bag I bought were dead mussels, and they did not taste fresh at all). I’ve also been buying sashimi-grade fish from them for 2 years now :) really fresh salmon, tuna, and scallops!!

Wonderful and lovely fish market. People are super friendly and willing to explain the differences. I got the king salmon and swordfish. Super fresh and delicious when I cooked! Prices are slightly higher than other fish markets (seafood prices are high in general). Parking can be tricky. Street parking so you may or may not need to walk a bit. The store is local favorite and it was crowded when I went. So expect to wait a few minutes to order. Great fish market overall.

Amazingly fresh!! I have visited New Deal Fish Market for more than 15 years for their sushi grade salmon, tuna and hamachi. The fish were as fresh as they could be EVERY single time. We raved about them every time at dinner table. Staffs behind the counter are friendly and love to give suggestion how to prepare certain seafood when asked ! They took care of cutting the fish, clean and skin. Recommend this shop any chance I could to my friends 😁

I’ve been going to New Deal for years to get the best fish and seafood in the Boston metro area. I live in Roslindale but make the roughly hour round trip to Cambridge as often as I can. The variety and quality of different fish plus a consistent supply of whole fish is unmatched. Staff is helpful, knowledgeable and good people. Love these guys!

Absolutely stellar quality fish - I've shopped often on my way from work and only wish we lived closer to New Deal Fish Market! New Deal is near a bus stop that runs through Harvard, and a short walk from Kendall. There are a few spots to lock up bikes on the same block, but traffic and the condition of the road surface doesn't make it that pleasant of a ride!

I needed a whole fresh fish to make sashimi for my bf and they told me which one was good. I bought a fish that we don't have in Japan, but their recommendation, Orata, was perfect for Sashimi. We were super happy with the result. I love this place because their people are friendly and knowledgeable. And yes you can get raw oysters here. Highly recommend for sushi sashimi grade fish. Will visit again.

Great place for fresh fish, got some beautiful sea bass and scallops for a sashimi ceviche (marinated for 15 min).

We discovered this neighborhood gem during 2020, and it kept us so happily fed during the shutdown. They always have fantastic quality and variety. It's not cheap, but you will gladly pay for quality seafood. Oh! Did I mention they have sushi grade fish cuts too? Fun date night idea, anyone? You can find some interesting Asian and Italian ingredients to make special dishes, and staff are nice about sharing their favorite way to cook their fish.
