Know any good fish markets to get sushi-quality fish in LA/Hollywood?

I've been to Whole Foods, Gelson's and other major markets where you can usually find only ONE kind of sushi grade fish - 99% of the time tuna - so I was wondering if anyone out there knows of a good local fish and/or Asian market where you can buy a wider range of sushi-grade fresh fish, i.e. yellowtail/hamatchi, salmon, snapper, halibut, etc.? I'm sure there are great obscure fish markets downtown or in the valley or westside, but I'm looking for a fish market that is centrally located in the LA/Hollywood/Weho area. Any help appreciated - I like to make sushi/sashimi a home, but get tired of tuna tartare!! :)

    Mc Call's Meat and Fish on Hilhurst in Los Feliz has excellent sushi-grade fish. We enjoyed some last week.

      Second McCall's. Anything they don't have, they will try to get for you.

      Despite this being an older thread http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/4450... it has a lot of perfectly sound, up to date suggestions for finding sushi quality fish in LA (especially Granada Market on Sawtelle in West LA).
