With the demise of the old Fulton Fish Market, the smell of
nostalgia seems to have replaced the aroma of fish guts. Enter: Fish Market
(the restaurant), a Mediterranean-tinged Seaport spot that tips its hat to the
area’s storied past. Bonus points for cred: It’s located in an old seafood
storage facility. “When we came in here, you could actually smell the residue
of the fish,” chortles co-owner Jeanette Josue. “We just had this inspiration
to reflect on what is now [a ghostly space] across the street from us.” A
copper-tin ceiling and 1930s photos of the old market set the stage for chef
Eddie Montalvo’s clean and mostly small-plates menu, with bites like black cod
Nicoise with cannellini beans, olives and capers. But the big
“Waaaaaa?” prize goes to his almond soup with roasted lobster and candied
tangerine peels: “I listened to Radio Head back to back to back for four days,
and that is what came out,” laughs Montalvo. “Thom Yorke is a genius, and if I
could be as fortunate to channel that genius into the menu, then lucky me. He’s
gonna have a table waiting for him, with his name.”
