I live in Los Angeles, CA, and usually buy meat from Gelson's or Whole Food.
However, I find it very hard to find more than the classic fishes, even in those two stores. I have no problem finding Halibut, Salmon, Swordfish, Tilapia, Trout and Whitefish... but what about Turbot? Red Mullet? Where do I go?
I was lucky enough to meet a 2 star michelin chef the other day and asked him. He recommended I look for japanese fish markets, mentioning what I quickly jolted down on my phone (spelling?) as "Malukai" (in the San Fernando Valley) and "Giant" (West L.A. on Sawtelle).
Unfortunately I couldn't find anything about either on Google. I'm in the Valley, so I'd love to find "Malukai". Or another good japanese fish market close to North Hollywood.
