 Turner in Melrose center - medium range pricing - excellent "standard" new
 england fish with one or two 'fusion' dishes (seared yellowfin tuna with
 wasabi mayo for ex.) Great crab cakes. Fresh fish counter as well.

Turner's Seafood Grill & Market, Inc
506 Main Street
Melrose, MA 02176

We've been there three times; it was extremely crowded and noisy on all occasions, and on the third visit the waitress was quite rude to us, so we've never gone back. The food is good but not great, IMO. However, if you like to cook fish at home, their selection of fresh fish, while small, is excellent.

Best,
Victoria

My husband and I really like Lornells
in Rowley, across the street from the
pancake house, on route 1A. You
can't beat the prices and the seafood
is very good. We usually order the
combination plate. The place never
really seems busy. Maybe we go at
the right time of day.

ON RT.16 IN EVERETT THERE IS A PLACE CALLED CAPTAIN QUATERS THE BEST SEAFOOD AROUND. IT'S NOT FANCY AND PARKING IS HARD,BUT IT'S WORTH IT. THEY HAVE THERE OWN BOATS SO THE SEAFOOD IS ALWAYS FRESH

 In Cambridge, try Dolphin Seafood on Mass. Ave. (I think it's near Putnam
 St.).  Fresh seafood at near rock-bottom prices.
