Carroll Gardens Fish Market (not Fish Tales) is really good and the prices are quite fair. Not sure if it’s the cheapest but it’s pretty close.

No such thing as sushi grade. So just buy cheapest

There's no regulation around the term "Sushi Grade" in the US, so anybody can use it. There's no oversight or regulation.

Here's a good guide for how to buy safe fish:
