Title: Go fish? Post by: Ed W on June 17, 2009, 05:32:10 pm She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed has a birthday coming up soon. We celebrate birthdays. We do NOT ask about her age. I only look stupid.
One of her favorite restaurants is Red Lobster. I like the food too, especially those cheese biscuits, but I'd like to try something different. What are your favorite fish places? Title: Re: Go fish?

White River....if you like quaint and oldsey. But their fish...mmmm...good. http://www.whiteriverfishmarket.com/ Title: Re: Go fish?

Not that Red Lobster is much better in that respect, but at least you don't order at the counter there. :DTitle: Re: Go fish?

Captain D's and Long John Silvers if you want to tick her off. Title: Re: Go fish? Post by: Ed W on June 18, 2009, 04:22:06 pm Thanks, Guido, but I really don't need any help getting her ticked off. It seems to be my best talent, in fact.
Mary's a sweetie, a better wife than I deserve. She's a country girl, and while she likes places like Red Lobster, she appreciates good food from more down-home restaurants too. White Fish Market may be a good choice because she wouldn't have to travel far. She has an adult form of muscular dystrophy that makes car travel painful. Mmmmm, fish. I shouldn't be thinking about this right before dinner. My stomach is growling. Title: Re: Go fish? Post by: nathanm on June 18, 2009, 05:23:16 pm Also, Bonefish Grill Bonefish is pretty good, but my favorite item there is the salad. :PThey have a tendency to undercook the fish, in my experience. Better than overcooking, save the one time it made me sick. Title: Re: Go fish? Post by: Gaspar on June 19, 2009, 06:41:45 am She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed has a birthday coming up soon.

Post by: joiei on June 19, 2009, 08:36:24 am White River has the best hush puppies to go with their excellent fish.
Title: Re: Go fish? Post by: Gaspar on June 19, 2009, 08:42:16 am White River has the best hush puppies to go with their excellent fish. I agree. Good stuff, but everything's fried. Title: Re: Go fish? Post by: SXSW on June 19, 2009, 12:33:19 pm I really miss Atlantic Sea Grill. Bodean's and Michael Fusco's on the river are top notch seafood places.
Title: Re: Go fish? Post by: guido911 on June 19, 2009, 01:21:01 pm Why not Bodean's if you're staying on the seafood vein or Joe's Crab Shack if you're staying on the chain seafood vein? True story about Joe's Crab Shack. The fam and I went there and ordered cheese sticks, you know that heart-healthy breaded cheese. We all bit into them and they all had no cheese on the inside. Hollow, cheese-less cheese sticks. We pointed in out to the help and ordered a different appetizer. They still charged us for the cheese sticks. Title: Re: Go fish? Post by: Breadburner on June 20, 2009, 06:13:19 am I agree. Good stuff, but everything's fried. You can get it broiled as well.... Title: Re: Go fish?

Better than overcooking, save the one time it made me sick. If I want under-cooked fish, I just go to a sushi bar. ;) Title: Re: Go fish? Post by: Cherish on June 20, 2009, 03:16:34 pm Bonefish. It's good. Yup I like Bonefish too but I always get this chicken dish that has spinach and goat cheese...mmm...so good. Is there not a McCormick and Schmick's or Phillip's Seafood Restaurant (the only chain outside of Maryland I will even eat crab cakes) in Tulsa? Those are popular seafood chain's that are way better quality then Red Lobster and even Bonefish. Title: Re: Go fish?

Those are popular seafood chain's that are way better quality then Red Lobster and even Bonefish. Remember that this is the middle of the country and not near the coasts. I lived in Houston for a time and always had great Cajun food, great Tex Mex. I moved back here and instantly missed all of that. Seafood included. Philips appears to be fairly regional, McCormick/Schmick's has locations near here, but none in OK (closest ones are either Dallas or KC). Title: Re: Go fish? Post by: Kashmir on June 21, 2009, 09:36:39 pm Ed, I hope you guys has a great evening out. I know the feeling of not wanting to eat chains, but sometimes...DAMN!!! Those biscuits from RL get me. (Yes, I know I can make them @ home, but RL is a family tradition form the 80's) Cheddar's has some good shrimp and salmon at a decent price. Yes, it is on 71st and yes, it is kinda a chain, ;) but they serve into the night pretty late which is good after the movies.
Title: Re: Go fish? Post by: Ed W on June 22, 2009, 03:00:23 pm Actually, it probably won't be an evening out. My idea of a late night these days is being awake past 10! But my day usually starts at 5AM.
I was just thinking that if a late breakfast/early lunch is 'brunch' - we should have a similar word for a late lunch/early dinner at mid afternoon. Chances are that's when we'll be out and about, anyway, but She-Who-Must-Be-Obeyed gets to call this one. My original plan was to do a scouting trip by myself to White Fish Market on Saturday, but like so many of my plans it fell through. If there's one thing I have in abundance it's interruptions. If I really wanted to score some points, I could take her out both Saturday and Sunday! Hmmmmm....... |
