Fishing for Fish
Sea trout is spring specific in this area. that's the freshest fish in New York City today. Blue Moon Fish. They're amazing. The boat comes in late yesterday afternoon, fish is iced down and then comes to market this morning. This time of year, something I'm looking out for is John Dory.
In terms of the best day to buy fish at a restaurant - probably Friday. On Saturday you're fine. Even Sunday - everyone thinks don't get fish on Sunday, but that's really just Saturday's delivery. I think Monday and Tuesday, those are the days that if something smells funny on your plate, you should say something!
