Either they are the very large ones, such as those on Ninth Avenue in Manhattan, that supply a wide range of fish to a varied ethnic clientele, or they are tucked into such communities as Chinatown or Elmhurst, Queens, where traditional ethnic cooking has created a demand.
Here is a guide to buying these fish, with substitutes when they are not available. Sea robin is seldom to be found in retail markets now; it is more abundant in spring and summer. The fish has large, winglike pectoral fins; The edible meat is mostly in the tail. Monkfish (also known as anglerfish, goosefish and lotte) is now being sold in markets throughout the area. It is an excellent substitute for sea robin. Be sure to remove the gray membrane that encloses the flesh if the fish market has not already done so. Conger, large saltwater eels, are sold in some markets all year. Gerard Bracco of Captain Ben's Fish Dock in Freeport, L.I., said they were used as food for servicemen during World War II. Regular freshwater eels, although considerably smaller, may be substituted. Other fish suitable for bouillabaisse include porgy, whiting, John Dory (St. Peter's fish), kingfish, tilefish and croaker (if at least one pound in size). Sea bass, flounder and mackerel are also good.
Skate is available all year. One reason black butter sauce is classic with this is that the fish can have an ammonia flavor, which is neutralized by the vinegar in the sauce. Soaking the fish in a salt or acid (lemon juice or vinegar) solution for an hour or so before cooking, or adding vinegar to a poaching liquid, is also effective. No other fish has the unusual, finely furrowed, almost ruffled look of skate wings. Many fish markets that do not normally carry skate will obtain it on special order. Small flat fillets from such fish as flounder are a substitute. Dogfish (sand shark) is available all year. Brining or soaking in an acid solution also improves dogfish. This is why malt vinegar is a typical accompaniment for fish and chips. The flesh is slightly gelatinous. Whiting, haddock and cod are substitutes. The following markets carry some or all of these fish; unless noted otherwise, none have sea robin now but expect to in warmer weather. Because some varieties are not always available, it is wise to call in advance.
Central Fish Market, 527 Ninth Avenue (39th Street), 212-279-2317. Skate is currently $1.19 a pound, sand shark or dogfish $1.30 a pound. Anthony Riccobono expects to have conger eel at about $1.30 a pound in warmer weather. Mr. Riccobono said prices are a little high now because of Lent. Sea Breeze Market, 541 Ninth AvenueSkate is 99 cents a pound, conger eel 80 cents a pound and dogfish, when available, from $1.10 to $1.50 a pound. DeMartino's, 132 Eighth AvenueSea robin is $1.49 a pound, dogfish 99 cents and skate $1.29. Conger eels are sold from time to time. Freshwater eels, kept live in tanks, are $4.50 a pound. Grillo's, 19 Newkirk Plaza, Brooklyn, 212-434-3430. Conger eel is $2.49 a pound; when available, sand shark is 99 cents to $1.49 a pound and skate is 89 to 99 cents a pound. Captain Ben's Fish Dock , 319 Woodcleft Avenue, Freeport, L.I., 516- 378-6575, with shops in these other Long Island communities: Bay Shore, Bethpage, East Meadow,
Jericho, North Babylon, PatchogueSea robin, skate, sand shark and conger eel are available on order. At the fish markets on the Upper East and West Sides of Manhattan, these varieties are rarely if ever available. ''They won't sell in this neighborhood,'' said Joseph Guerrera, who owns Citarella, at Broadway and 75th Street. His other fish market, Greenwich Village Fish Company on Bleecker Street, does not stock them for the same reason. Richard Brennan, the fish buyer at Balducci's, a Greenwich Village market known for its wide variety, said that when he occasionally gets these fish he usually has to throw them away. ''The fishermen don't want to be bothered because there's no money in these fish,'' remarked Andrew Grillo of Grillo's in Brooklyn. ''On the official market listings, sand shark and dogfish are called Long Island grays,'' said Mr. Bracco of Captain Ben's Fish Dock. ''That may help the image.'' In Europe, he added, ''Skate is a delicacy, but here it's insulting.''
