I'm trying to narrow down the best places in Chinatown that have both affordable and fresh shellfish so stay tuned on that front. However, if you happen to be uptown then I highly recommend Fairway - specifically the location in Harlem (not the one in the UWS). The Harlem Fairway has an entire room that is a "cold room" where they keep all their meats, dairy and most importantly fish. Within the cold room is an entire counter devoted to fresh fish including live lobster, a variety of mussels, oysters, clams, shrimp and prawns. It's a shellfish lover's paradise! Not only is their selection great but it is priced affordably for Manhattan. They frequently have specials on shellfish (as well as other fish) so you can sometimes pick up quite a steal.
