Stopped by for some Fish and Chips today but that didn't work out to well. Soft shelled crabs are here and they had a crab sandwich with fries as a special so that's what I had. Excellent and the fries are good as well.

Drove by at 9am this morning and the "Open" sign is up. I'll stop in tonight (hours are 9am to 8pm).

re: sablemerle
I shopped this morning. Prices aren't cheap. I did splurge for grey sole at $17.99/ lb. Ouch. MD soft shell crabs are $4.99 each. They have farmed & wild fish, not a huge variety. Lots of people working there. Sorry I don't have more to report regarding prices & offerings. With all the employees looking at me, I didn't want to appear to be scoping it out too much :)
The hot to order items will be ready sometime after July 4th. No beer or wine license unfortunately. I did say it would be great for them to have one.

re: tall sarah
On Friday went with the wife and had a fried clam roll; she had a fried scallop roll. Both came with fries. The food was well made, hot out of the fryolater, nicely breaded. Kind of wish they had toasted the roll, but a good meal. They only have 3-4 booths in there, so not a lot of sit-down capacity. It would be nice if they set up some picnics tables with umbrellas in that massive expanse of a parking lot..
They were doing a booming take out business that night..

This is a lot larger than Legal seafoods initially was, although the retail space at Fresh Pond itself was pretty big. BTW, the Daily Catch started out as a food truck at fairs and Courthouse Seafood used to do wed/fri fish fries inside the fish market (they and Fernandes Fish Market still sell prepared fish and other foods inside the market). Moulton's once was more of a fish market, now its more restaurant. BTW, pretty certain its been mentioned but the new Fresh Pond Seafoods location is just off the Alewife bike path, so they may have moved from Fresh Pond Circle, but for old neighbors there is still an easy way to get to the new store.

I'm not sure I'd want to be riding a bike with a piece of fish in my basket. :-)

Maybe a publicity shot for Fresh Pond Fish Market should be someone riding down the bike path with a large whole fish slung over their shoulder. Sort of like the photo of Jamie Bissonnette with half a pig slung over his shoulder emphasizing the sort of. (Definately wouldn't be _like_ if they did it with a fixie, though :-) )

I drove by their new site last night- it's on Summer St, not far up from the Rt 60 interchange. So close to Arlington center. It was dark & I didn't see what was going on inside, but the sign is up!

Is it perhaps past Dunkin Donuts across from Scutra in the building that was both a produce market and used car lot before?? Sort of a large space for them, but a few weeks ago that location had a "just leased" sign up. That is closer to Rt 3 than Rt 60 interchange, but the above poster means where 60 curves at Arlington Center rather than the 60 rotary (which to me means interchange).

It's at 75 Summer Street, between Cutter Hill Road and Edgehill Road. Here's a map: http://bit.ly/9mqELz

That is the spot I mentioned above. I wonder if they will do more than fish because from what I recall there is closer to 1.5 levels of retail space and that massive parking lot. Their market at FreshPond was relatively large compared to other fishmongers (the fishmonger in Cambridge, New Deal, Courthouse, Captain Boston), but just a bit larger then Carey's. Depending on what is happening with Busa going forward, having more produce options would be good. Although the market which opened there had a real hard time selling perishables (fruit, bread, etc) and did better with things like product's from Dom's, I think they will draw more traffic.

The old Fresh Pond Seafood did some produce, so my guess is, there will probably be produce at the new spot. Perhaps canned goods and baked goods as well? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

That would be great! We've been going to Carey's Catch, but their selection is small. Please keep us posted!

re: pemma
Corey's Catch in right on Mass. Ave. on the Arlington Heights/Lexington border.
I've been to Frankie's a few times with good results. It's not cheap, but the fish has been very fresh, and Frankie (?) is friendly and helpful. I didn't love the style of fish and chips a few years back, though. Haven't tried them recently.

Wow that would be cool, they got clobbered by WF nearby. That building was a such a dump it's good they bulldozed it. I also miss "I Love NY" Korean market, the banchan was excellent there.

That was easily the best Banchan in Boston. I agree, terrible loss.
I loved the dumpy fish shack vibe of FPF. Was so sad when they closed. The fish was super fresh, and reasonably priced. The fish shack just seemed New England Appropriate.
