| - This is not only a restaurant, but also the best place to buy fresh fish in Pittsburgh. Skip Wholey's, skip Benkovitz's. This place doesn't necessarily have all the different SPECIES of fish that the other markets do, but what it does have is impeccably fresh, beautiful fish (and molluscs, and cephalopods). The fishmongers are incredibly knowledgeable about what they've got on the ice, and they're totally happy to answer any questions. (Plus, if you have the fish filleted, they will not give you a strange look when you ask for the head and bones so you can make stock.) You're buying the same fish that they're making sushi out of, so you know it's good.
My boss gets the sushi platter from here all the time, for parties and stuff. It's delicious as well. Not totally grandiose in its ambition and covered in weird sauces, like the overrated Nakama -- just that lovely fresh fish and rice.
