former Chinese place - what's going on?

The Chinese place next to Joyce is turning into something. I heard a rumor of a "sustainable" fish store. Anyone else?

Yup.

We got a tip about that about a month ago:

Your wish has been granted! Mark and Bianca at Mermaid's Garden, a CSF around Brooklyn, are planning to open a brick and mortar on Vanderbilt. They're building out this summer so hopefully we'll have fresh, amazing fish in the fall.

Readers are looking forward to it!

That's great.....that space (or maybe the Joyce Bakery space?) was a fresh fish store about 20 years ago....

Yes, Joyce Bakeshop used to be a fish store approximately pre 2005.

The new fish place will right next to Joyce. Here's a mini photo of the storefront that the new fish place will be using:

The actual address is 644 Vanderbilt Avenue, near Park Place.

Hooray! We will be customers!

Mermaid's Garden opens tomorrow, Tuesday Dec 2!

(The sign says they'll open at noon. I couldn't get the uploaded image to display.)

A friend went, and reports "yup, they have fish".

Said fish will be eaten for dinner.

I got the frozen uni butter, to be enjoyed with a baguette.

They had some lobster mac and cheese that I think I will splurge on soon mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
