"Guide" is a strong word for this listing, but it's where I like to shop. Since I was in the process of updating the list of stores I attach to all my class handouts, I thought I'll post it here for all my Metro Boston readers. Russo's - most of my shopping happens here except for fish and meat. They carry the best quality and variety of produce (besides farmers' markets), dairy, eggs, cheese, deli (the best prosciutto prices in Boston), Iggy's bread, and many great Asian products. I was never impressed with the quality of their meats, but poultry variety and quality is excellent. 560 Pleasant Street / Watertown MA 02472 / 617-923-1500 Whole Foods – great for one stop shopping including fish and meat, but way more expensive than Russo's. Stop and Shop, Roche Bros, or Shaw's - that's where I buy Diamond Crystal Kosher salt that I use for everything from cooking to baking. For some reason, Whole Foods doesn't carry it. Costco - my shopping list here usually includes King Arthur flour, Cabot Cheddar, Buffalo Mozzarella, campari tomatoes, onions, haricot verts, fish, prime steaks, and boneless short ribs.

Quality is consistently high, prices are exceptionally low, but the packages are very large, and you'll need to pay for a membership. New Deal Fish Market – the best fish selection and quality in Boston, particularly for whole fish. They carry sushi grade salmon, tuna, branzino, hamachi, fluke, etc. Carl Fantasia (the owner) is a walking encyclopedia of fish and a fabulous cook always willing to share his knowledge and recipes. The fact that this little gem survived the Whole Foods invasion and consumers' drive to have everything fast and cheap is a joy and a miracle. Every customer has her turn, and as Miracle Max said in Princess Bride, "You can't rush a miracle, sonny." 622 Cambridge St., Cambridge, MA, 617-876-8227 Wulf's Fish Market – one of the few great fish markets on the Boston side of the river. Excellent quality and selection of fish. Alan Wulf (the owner) is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and will be happy to answer all your questions, or clean a whole fish for you.  

Lately the prices have been extremely high. 407 Harvard Street, Brookline, MA, 617-277-2506 Captain Marden's – this is where the restaurants get their fish, so the quality is consistently high. The retail store only has fillets, but they can get you whole fish and all kinds of interesting species if you call a few days in advance.jiro dreams of sushi bach prelude 279 Linden St, Wellesley, MA 02482, (781) 235-0860sushi magico jogo download gratis Costco - very good quality (often comparable to high end fish markets) for much lower prices. sushi grade fish in phoenixUnlike other Costco products, fish packages are reasonably sized (1-3 Lb). sushi cat 3 gra online

Selection is very limited. A more extensive fish market list Costco - unbeatable for prime rib-eye and NY strip steaks. The quality is as high as it gets in Boston and the prices are unbelievably reasonable. Whole Foods – sometimes local, sometimes prime, sometimes dry-aged, always expensive.  I do like their pork products (rib chops and boston butt) -- good quality and reasonably priced compared to other meats. Savenor's - They carry it all: rabbit, foie gras, goat, interesting cuts of beef, several types of duck. The tastiest chickens you can buy in Boston (Giannone).

130 Fawcett St, Cambridge, MA 02138, (617) 491-7600 Clear Flour – excellent breads, croissants, and brioche. We rarely make it to Brookline, but often buy their baquette (the best in Boston) and focaccia at Whole Foods, John Dewar's, Formaggio's, and Fresh Pond Market. 178 Thorndike St, Brookline, MA 02446, (617) 739-0060 H-Mart – huge and not particularly easy to navigate, but offers a good selection of Japanese products In the summer, I buy as much of my produce as possible in the farmers' markets.  Here is how to find one near you.“If you are a sashimi fan like me or just generally like seafood, this will be the best you can find in Boston!” “Carl and his team are not only very knowledgeable, but super nice and helpful.” “I also ordered sushi-grade salmon and the knowledgable staff suggested I clean and fry the skin with some olive oil for a decadent side.” "My friend and I just so happened on this store while we were walking/shopping our way through Salem and it is just another reason why I need to relocate to this lovely town.
