-- Please share some of your favorite Seafood restaurants & what you procure there.
I like The Back Porch in Destin, Fl. I enjoyed their blackened Grouper.
http://www.theback-porch.com/destin/index.php I REALLY enjoyed the deep-fried lobster tail w/ peanut sauce at the Grove Park Inn in Asheville, NC. (although this may've been their nightly special 'non menu' item, not for sure on that) http://www.groveparkinn.com/dining-overview I remember eating some fine fine hickory smoked prawns (larger shrimp) w/ brown-butter drizzle at the restaurant in Asheville, Boathouse Restaurant on Lake Julian. No link - I think they moved to SC. also I remember several places near Panama City Beach Fl that were great - but I'm wanting to keep this short and sweet. I'm curious - Where have YOU eaten excellent seafood? What do you order there? Please drop links, etc... etc.... - Interested in anything seafood - fried/broiled/blackened or raw on an iced tray. Let's hear of your spots, either historically or currently or maybe you only go there once per year..... |

If the seafood restaurant is more than a hundred miles from the Ocean, the odds of it sucking go up exponentially.
Eamonn's in Alexandria, VA was pretty good last time I went. Now, here in Houston J & J Seafood Market and Tom's Seafood are really good. As for cocktail vs. tartar? Neither. Fresh squeezed lemon juice. |

I actually prefer lake fish over seafood. Although that could be because all the seafood in the midwest is crap.

This for everyone but I will answere here:

Here's one in Boston right on the waterfront's fish pier, where the fish comes in--really, really fresh seafood. It''s called the No Name Restaurant. http://www.nonamerestaurant.com/ Awesome fried claims --complete with whole bellies. Love lots of tartar sauce with or without lemon first. Never cocktail sauce--that's southern and for shrimp cocktail! You'll get a lot of seafood here for your dollar than at other more expensive places. Best Lobster in Maine picked up at a local fish market that day on any waterfront and boiled. Nothing beats that. You can smell the brine of the ocean when you eat it when it's that fresh. Steamers (anywhere) and mussels. Used to pick the mussels right off the rocks and boil them in wine and herbs. I just like my lobster just plain with a touch of salt, maybe a little lemon because I don't like to hide the taste. Same with steamed clams--no butter I want to taste the clam. On swordfish, halibut, haddock, scallops I that is broiled I like just lemon and butter with or without any garlic. Also like different herbs and flavors from different recipes. Just tartar sauce on anything fried. Stuffed clams or quahogs and or an Italian clam or quahog sauce on pasta. Chowder I don't eat a lot of because it's fattening. Salmon, in season, I like with lemon and a creamy dill sauce. Or various recipes like dijon mustard, garlic, onion and dill -- Asian sauces. |

I don't care for southern seafood that much either. I like cold water seafood. Although I have taken a liking to grouper but it's still not the same as New England. And they use cocktail sauce for fried fish. Though there is Frenchy's Care on Clearwater Beach that has good grouper and amazing Conch Fritters with a Bahamian sauce that is out of this world. Very casual. Although, I have taken a liking to shrimp and grits that I had in NC and Georgia. That's new for me though. |

Kincaid's, Redondo Beach, CA (apparently, it's a chain)... everything.
Spencer Makenzie's in Ventura, CA.... fish tacos. Twisted in Shawnee has some really good fish tacos. The Gordon Ramsey restaurant in Versailles, France has amazing swordfish.

I agree with the further away from the ocean, the worse it is principle. I'm from Hawaii so I'm a seafood snob. If it wasn't swimming a hour ago, pass. So as far as seafood places I have somewhat acces to living in AZ....? Pt. Loma Seafoods in San Diego. Shrimp 'sammich. It's real good. Anything from there is awesome. Glad I'm currently in San Diego and ate there today!

When it comes to seafood, my favorites have always been mom-and-pop places. Unfortunately, those usually have a shelf life, as people age or just move on to other things. Being in New England, I'm lucky enough that I'm usually able to find pretty good replacements, but it's getting tougher as the years go by around here.
Slightly OT, though involving seafood: I made mussels in garlic and oil tonight. Yummy. |

Anton's taproom in Crossroads has some amazing seafood. They raise their own Tilapia there and control what the fish eat, which makes for a healthy meal that's as fresh as you can get in these parts. The tilapia tacos are the best I've had.
