Best fish market in the area?

Where do folks around here buy their fish? Any places to check out or avoid?

I like New Deal, but I also like Courthouse Fish Market a lot. It's just a couple blocks past New Deal on Cambridge, toward Lechmere. I find Courthouse has slightly better prices than New Deal, and they also have a reliable stock of sardines/stickleback, which I buy frequently. The guys who run the place are really nice, and will help you out with selection, cooking suggestions, etc. Both New Deal and Courthouse have a somewhat variable selection, so if you want something specific, it's best to call ahead.

I don't buy much seafood at grocery stores, but $4.99/lb lobsters at Market Basket are great. I believe they'll even cook them for you if you ask.
