Leave it to Mike Stollenwerk of fish (and formerly Little Fish) to put the fish back in Fishtown.

He has signed a lease at a former art gallery at 200 E. Girard Ave. (at Shackamaxon), next to Murph's, across from Johnny Brenda's, and around the corner from the forthcoming Stephen Starr biergarten.

Name will be Fathom Seafood Bar.

It's a raw/seafood gastropub concept, and he's hoping for a September/October opening with a full bar and communal picnic table seating.

Sample dishes: Lobster grilled cheese and smoked-cod pierogis. Monday crab nights.

Stollenwerk says he hasn't given up on his idea of resurrecting Little Fish, which he closed last month over what he called structural issues with its building.

    I believe Jimmy Tayoun's brother, Ed, had this place or a location near to this for his famous crab cakes in the early 1990's. Glad to hear of a seafood place going here. Philadelphia needs more good seafood places.
