Fresh fish, fresh ideas: Cooking with confidence from Fearless Fish Market

There’s something undeniably satisfying about building a meal around truly fresh seafood, the kind that’s handled with care and meant to be the star of the plate. When I’m planning a crudo spread or looking for something unique to throw on the grill, I head to Fearless Fish Market on Hope Street in Providence. Tucked into the East Side, Fearless is the kind of place where quality speaks for itself. Their case is always stocked with an impressive variety of sustainably sourced seafood, from sushi-grade tuna to dry-aged cuts and whole fish that are as beautiful as they are fresh. Whether you’re planning to marinade a thick-cut swordfish steak for the grill, or salt-bake a whole branzino for something a little more adventurous, they have the goods to make it happen. Even if you’re not exactly sure what direction you’re going with for dinner, the market makes it easy to get inspired. There’s a small cork board by the counter featuring simple, tested recipes that highlight what’s in season and in the case. If you’re feeling stuck, the staff are always approachable, ready with suggestions if you ask, without ever making things feel intimidating. Fearless makes high-quality seafood more accessible, whether you’re slicing something raw for crudo or firing up the grill for a smoky, summery main meal. It’s one of the few places I trust completely when it comes to freshness, flavor, and sourcing. Fearless is a staple in my rotation any time seafood is on the menu. •
