asian grocery stores?

are there any asian supermarkets close to here? in particular, i want to find one that sells fresh whole fish (to steam, etc).

i've been going to one in lowell when i'm around there, and chinatown, but it would be nice to find one closer.

Reliable Market, Union Sq.
I think there's a Lotte on Mass Ave. near MIT.

Yes indeed. That's a wonderful store.

Reliable Market on the corner of Summer and Washington in Union Square.
I think there's a Fish Market on Main St in Medford, a few blocks up Harvard St from Powderhouse Circle, but I think it's Portugese. Another store on Alewife Brook Pkwy, next to Tokyo Restaurant (near the double donuts of doom), but it's pretty small--however there's a fish market a few shops down. Since most people may not want whole fish, things in the display cases of stores may already be fileted, but you can ask to get a whole one from the back.

note, Harvard St. is called Warner Ave when it exits Powderhouse. It becomes Harvard when it crosses Boston Ave.

There's a traditional asian market right in union sq (I don't know the name, but it's where somerville ave, summer ave, and prospect st form a triangle. They have a whole room of just fresh fish, and their quality and prices are tops!

That's the Reliable Market. It's actually the largest Korean market in New England.

there's an asian grocery store on the first floor in the back of the porter exchange building in porter square. I'm pretty sure they have whole fresh fish, I usually get sushi fish there and its very fresh.
