The Fish Shop

The Fish Shop began life as a fishmonger's counter and still buys directly from day boats, chalking up whatever comes in that morning. The room is small and simple — a handful of tables around an open kitchen — with a menu that changes daily based on the catch.

Highlights

  • Michelin Bib Gourmand for value seafood cooking
  • Menu rewritten daily based on the morning's catch
  • Small, open-kitchen room in the Smithfield food cluster

Tips for visiting

  • Because the menu changes daily, ask the server what came in that morning rather than picking blind from an online menu
  • Smithfield has several other good places nearby (including an omakase counter) — worth combining into one food-focused evening
