Fish Market Arlington / Cambridge Line

[Eat Very Well]

I'm trying to find the well regarded Fish Market on Mass Ave in Arlington, fairly close to Cambridge. Does anybody know where it is exactly?

Do you recommed it? Why?

Regretablly Arlington Lobster has closed, the "original" owner passed away about 4 years ago

I posted about Arlington Lobster as my very first chowhound post, about four years ago. I've got other lobster sources now, but I was always very happy with the ones I got there - they have (or at least had) a good big clean tank (nothing like the nasty supermarket murky aquaria), and happy peppy lobsters. Good clams too. Though again, this opinion is four years out of date. (Maybe time for lobster...)

Could it be Arlington Lobster, 162 Massachusetts Avenue, Arlington, MA 02474 [phone]? Only been there a couple times (it was fine) and I don't recall reading much about it here. Somebody likes a small fish market up at the Lexington end, can't remember the name.

If its on Mass Ave are you sure you aren't talking about Carey's Catch on Mass Ave at the Lexington/Arlington border? I thought there might have been something in East Arlington (near the Theater) in the past, but not that I recall today. There also was the Village Fish in the center which was a restaurant and closed, and a bait and tackle shop... but I am not remembering a shop. Carey's is pretty good if its near to you, but I don't go there regularly.

Other fish markets nearby are the Fishmonger in Huron Village, Fresh Pond Seafood at the Rt 2 Rotary, Captain Boston Fish Market on Main St in Medford, and Moulton's on Winthrop in Medford. All pretty much recommended, although of them I mostly go to Captain Boston.

Never heard of it, but Fresh Pond Seafood isn't far from there.
