One is well established, the other is new. But Manhattan's Upper West Side is lucky to have two excellent fishmongers.
New at Broadway Farm, at Broadway and West 85th Street, is a full-service and well-priced fish department, run by Bobby Santangelo who used to run the popular fish market at Jake's. After Jake's closed, to the disappointment of many Upper West Siders, Bobby took some time to explore his options. His new space at Broadway Farm opened a few weeks ago. It has a large glass window that faces the street but you enter his shop through the main store.
There are pre-cut fillets, shellfish, whole fish that can be cut to your specifications, and an ever changing selection that depends upon what Bobby thinks is perfectly fresh, including wild, organic and farmed. Bobby will also cook your fish, including steaming whole lobsters. Prices are very good and they will deliver.
