Seafood in RI
I am looking for the best seafood market in RI. I 'm Italian and need octopus, squid w/ ink sac, eel, and prawns for Christmas. Any ideas?

Haven't lived there in a very long time, still have family, but that has nothing to do with it,
I would think Providence, Bristol, Newport and Galilee should have what you would be looking for.
Good Luck.

You should probably start calling around as eel and octopus is not something you see allot in the seafood markets. I go weekly to different places like Tony's on route 6 in Seekonk and Nick's in Bristol. Another place I like but is a drive, is Kyler's right off the exit on 195. http://www.kylerseafood.com/

Seabra in Cranston usually has octopus, but it's frozen.

The Bristol Seabra also has it frozen.

You didn't mention if you're East Bay or West Bay. If you're West Bay, contact Smiling Sole in Coventry. They know what you need and with a phone call they'll be sure to put aside an order.

In Newport, call Anthony's and Long Wharf. Also have you checked Whole Foods?

The chances of Fresh Octopus is very slim all of it is thawed and from Asian. Squid fresh if its right the holidays you can get it. In my opinion the Wharf Seafood in Galilee he is a commercial fisherman and the only place to buy totally fresh fish in R.I. right off the boats. Unless you want to go to a whole sale place in New Bedford called Foley Seafood the best in N.E.
