Cosenza's Fish Market
Whether you’re eating or shopping on Arthur Avenue, a pit stop at Cosenza’s Fish Market is a must. Eating freshly shucked shellfish at their streetside oyster bar is one of the best experiences in the neighborhood. The selection varies by season, but they’ve had everything from Cherrystone clams to Kumamoto oysters that they’ll open up for you on the spot and serve with big slices of lemon. Dress your shellfish with hot sauce, horseradish, and more at the condiment bar and eat it standing out on the sidewalk. (There are no seats.) Cosenza is famous for its clams, but you can also get cooked cocktail shrimp and specialties like sea urchin when available.
