Lunch at The Fish Guy Market

My first visit to the Fish Guy Market on Elston was part of my langostino quest. I had started at Fulton and headed north. It was a bit after noon and I was tempted by fillets being grilled for other customers. For something like 8 bucks you can pick your fish and get it grilled on a roll with a wonderful herbed mayo.

The case was stocked with lots of interesting options and I settled on the black bass. The roll was toasted and crispy and I haven't had a sandwich this fresh since a halibut sammy at Pike Place market in Seattle.

The Fish Guy Market also does sushi classes, hence the picture. A conversation about Illinois Sturgeon Caviar is being very slowly edited down. I'll be posting it in the near future.
