A fish market with a counter: shucked oysters, a lobster roll and the day's catch on ice.

IllustrationHalf sustainable fishmonger, half counter restaurant, with the day's catch laid out on ice a few feet from where you eat. It feels like a shack on a pier, even though the nearest boat is nowhere in sight, and it has become an industry favorite for oysters on the half-shell.
Sit at the counter for freshly shucked oysters and a glass of sparkling wine, then the lobster roll. Fish tacos and a fish stew are there for a bigger meal, and you can take something home from the market on the way out.
Editor’s tip
Go mid-afternoon, sit at the counter, and order oysters and the lobster roll to share.
