Colleen N: From Washingtonian: make a rez. Fruit salad, Cucumber Fizz & Pimm's cocktails, bagel & cream cheese/scallions/gravlax, poached eggs with crab and cayenne hollandaise, silver dollar corn pancakes
Toby Watkins: We pick up fish here almost every Sunday for dinner. Tonight was Arctic Char, Hake, Opah, and Cod for my wife. We always enjoy what we have found to be the freshest,most sustainable fish in the city.
Washingtonian Magazine: Walking by the fish market up front you’ll likely get a sense of what will be on the menu from the ice beds holding super-sweet Nantucket bay scallops or a bountiful array of oysters.
