Looking for a fishmonger in SF (or greater Bay Area if necessary) to buy Monchong/Pomfret from
When my hustband and I were in Kauai earlier this year, we had an amazing fish called Monchong (which I am learning through the magic of the internet, is also known as the Sickle Pomfret). In any event, I would like to buy some monchong/pomfret for a special dinner but so far have had very little luck in locating the fish in San Francisco.
Does anyone know of local fish mongers/specialty grocery stores that would carry this fish (or at the very least generally carry a good amount of "exotics")?
Thanks so much!
Have you tried Ranch 99?

I know I've seen it at the Richmond 99 Ranch within the past month.
