livingdebI've lived near the Quality Seafood Market (at Airport and Koenig) for a decade and a half, and I've never gone inside until this year. That's because it looks like some sort of smelly seafood shop, full of smelly raw seafood. I don't like seafood, unless Long John Silver's counts. And I don't like cooking meat: if I leave it in the fridge too long, it goes bad, and if I leave it in the freezer, I never feel like thawing it.
Nevertheless, I like this place.
That's because it also has a restaurant. And the restaurant serves food I like. (Check out the menu.) The fried cod is not batter-dipped like at Long John Silver's, but it's obviously good fish, and it's yummy enough not to need any sauce. The salads are good and the bleu cheese dressing has plenty of flavor to it. The fries are fine, and the macaroni and cheese is very cheesy, though made with spaghetti for the macaroni, and probably with Velveeta.
I still want to try the cornbread, hushpuppies, and pie.
And Robin, who actually likes seafood, likes the blackened salmon best, but also likes the shrimp, the fish tacos (best with avocado sauce), the broccoli (though slightly more cooked than he likes) and the salads.
I started trying out the original dinner, but now I just order a la cart. One piece of fried cod and a side of macaroni and cheese are plenty of food for only $4.
Good seafood is not easy to find in this town, so if you've given up, Deb-Bob says try again.
The only problems are that it is busy (though we've always been able to find a table) and it's not open on Sunday.
Overall, it gets two thumbs up!
