I heard about Sakanaya very recently and was excited to load up on some fresh sashimi. We tried a variety of items and here's what we thought. Delicious, would definitely get again - Argentinian red shrimp are really nice and succulent. - Tako wasa tastes like restaurant quality and is only $3 -- definitely a good deal! - Salmon scraps are good, great for poke bowls. Maybe would get again - Whole salmon was pretty good, not much fishiness. Wouldn't get again - Sweet shrimp were not super sweet/fresh-tasting. Argentinian red shrimp was much better. - Bluefin tuna toro was a miss. It had a lot of chewy pieces of fat. Maybe I picked the wrong piece. I would get the Argentinian red shrimp, tako wasa, and salmon scraps again!

Cute lil family owned business, being a good local spot to get sushi-grade fish and comforting cold sashimi don (or rice bowl). The staff were very friendly and the selection of fish you can choose from is usually much more plentiful if you aside earlier in the day. Parking also is plentiful, despite how it's on the street. Anyway, the fish was fresh and sweet (especially the scallop) when I tried this spot for the first time. The sushi rice was pretty refreshing as well, as it definitely stimulated the appetite with each bite. For a friendly spot with good portions for the price in today's economy, I'd totally recommend this spot and I'm planning on going back for more!

A tiny little Japanese grocery store and fresh seafood market. A must visit place for those who love fresh sashimi. I went there to get their chirashi bowl. You can either make your own bowl with the cuts of different fish of your choice or get their premade menu bowls for $8. My partner and I decided to make our own bowl and it ended up costing around $35 for two with lots of fresh fish. (We were so hungry that we just ended up eating in the car and did not take any photos.) - 8/10

Sushi and sashimi were so fresh. And the price was very good as well. Always go there whenever we go to Boston.

Without a doubt my new favorite store in Boston. Incredible selection of top quality fish. They seem to mix up what is available which is nice. The toro is amazing. You can get small pieces so you can try a lot. Prices are low for the high quality. If you don't mind cutting your fish yourself, this is the place to go for sashimi. If you do mind cutting your own fish, they have the best rolls I've had in MA, and also do nigiri and rice bowls. You can (and should) call ahead for pickup as everything is made to order. I love this place

Good, fresh fish. Wonderful for sushi and sashimi. They sell a lot of nice side dishes, too! Different types of roe, seaweed salad, squid salad, they have it all. Their onigiri is also only $2! Small store, but they have all the essentials. We like to come here for poke bowl ingredients.

What...? How have I not visited this small but mightily-awesome establishment a lot sooner? This tiny Japanese fish market is just a couple minutes away and I've somehow failed to visit them until very recently. I guess it has a lot to do with not craving fish for the last year BUT when the first hint of desire for seafood returned, their name immediately popped up in my mind. I've been back several times since the initial visit. Their variety of sashimi grade fish as well as specials in their frozen section (fish trimmings and fish heads) definitely suit my personal culinary preferences. On top of that, they actually provide a chirashi service (for a dollar) where they slice the fish you purchased and lay it atop sushi rice for you. This allows you to fully customize your chirashi bowls according to what you crave in the very moment. Friendly people, fresh ingredients, decently priced. Definitely recommend and can't wait to be back again soon!

We ordered for pick up. Sushi was delicious. We selected one of the platters. They basically charge for everything like wasabi packets, soy sauce and utensils. Overall, it's already

A cool fish market filled with all the fish you can imagine! They've got all types of Japanese frozen seafood, fresh seafood, sashimi, and Japanese goods. You can get raw fish rice bowls (sushi dons) to-go. There's not really a space for eating inside. They also don't sell hot food either. The staff is very friendly. I got the salmon sashimi here. It comes in a large block that you buy by the pound. The staff was willing to cut it for us too. I can't wait to come back and try their other types of fish and items. I'll definitely be returning regularly!
