If you don't mind paying more, also check out 88 supermarket in Brighton (it's to the left of BU) or a chinese restaurant w/ a live seafood tank. They'll charge you by the pound instead of each though :-P

I think we mentioned this on this site, but #^&#^&#^&#^& who runs Arlington B&T was in a horrible accident about a month or so ago (he was hit by a drunk driver in front of his shop while crossing the street), while he is recovering his family is running the shop, so give them a call as the hours may vary.

Don't waste your time with Fore River. They'll give you small eels and an explanation as too why their better. The other day it was "You don't need to be able to cast. The majority of striped bass are caught withing 15 ft. of shore."

That's the kind of thing you keep to yourself. Next time you go everyone else will have had their pick and you will ask me for eels. :humpty::wave:
