Fish story: Sushi on West Main

by Dave McNair

First the bad news: Seafood at West Main owner Chris Arseneault decided to close his lunch counter in the West Main Market. No more fish and chips, po-boys, and such. Now the good news: he’s opened a sushi counter in its place!

For Arseneault it was a no-brainer. After all, he’s been selling sashimi quality fresh fish for the last six years. And…

“We also expanded within the last two years to include Japanese groceries,” he says, “and my wife, Yoshiko, and I own the business and she’s Japanese.”

Using their sashimi quality yellow-fin tuna and Atlantic salmon, Arseneault says they’re currently offering tuna, salmon, spicy tuna, eel, California, and vegetable rolls.

    It makes sense. Since their old cook, Dave, left for Whole Foods, the lunch counter hasn’t been so great. I’m looking forward to trying the new stuff out! Thanks for the heads up!
