seafood counter

Market fish section

A seafood counter is the section of a grocery store or market where fresh fish, shellfish, and other seafood are displayed on ice and sold by weight.

Staff behind the counter can clean, fillet, or prepare selections to order: I asked the guy at the seafood counter to remove the skin from the salmon.
