Cosenza’s Fish Market
“I love standing outside at the raw bar and eating like 3 dozen clams to the face.”
“You can't beat standing outside on Arthur Ave and eating a couple dozen clams and esters on the half shell.”
“As for whether Cosenza's is better than Randazzo's down the block, I don't know.”

You can not beat oysters and clams on the street in the Bronx. A great Italian seafood market with $1.50 oysters on the street. The guys that work here are super nice. Fresh! I would go back in the Spring and eat more!!! So fun to eat great seafood on the street.
Clam and oyster bar right outside on the sidewalk. They open them right in front of you, and they taste so fresh. My mom kept saying they tasted fishy but not to me. Be prepared to stand and eat.
Oysters Oysters Oysters! Shucked to order at the street stand with house made seafood sauce was amazing!!! Super sweet blue point oysters of the day at $1.75/each
Cosenza's is one of the anchor businesses that keeps Arthur Avenue going. If you want a classic Italian seafood market, it doesn't get much better than this. If it swims and Italians cook it, odds on it will be here. They even have specialty items, such as squid ink and cuttlefish. Prices are fair and the staff is knowledgeable across the board. Main problem is that this place is up in the Bronx!
My favorite thing to do it get oysters and/or clams fresh on the street. You're basically paying the market prices for them, so it's a pretty good deal. During the week when it's nice outside, they setup some plastic tables and chairs so you can make a lunch out of it.
As for whether Cosenza's is better than Randazzo's down the block, I don't know. Both have high quality seafood. I generally prefer Cosenza's because of location (lazy, I know) and because they typically have more varieties of oysters at their raw bar. I like my clams cooked and oysters raw. If you're on Arthur Avenue, this is a must visit!
