Comments on: Best seafood restaurants in the US…NOT https://thenewneo.com/2012/10/20/best-seafood-restaurants-in-the-us-not/ A blog about political change, among other things Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:56:30 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: MissJean https://thenewneo.com/2012/10/20/best-seafood-restaurants-in-the-us-not/#comment-438845 Mon, 22 Oct 2012 18:56:30 +0000 http://neoneocon.com/?p=20761#comment-438845 I love fish, but I doubt I’d eat oyster in Chicago. I like to eat the local fish, wherever I am. I had a wonderful “redfish” in Austin; local clams and fish in Cedar Key, FL; and Great Lake fish at various eateries in Michigan and Ontario.

The only thing I can’t eat is lobster. I lost a lot of weight when I visited relatives in Massachusetts because they put it in everything, including tossed salad. As for prices, the cheapest seafood I’ve ever seen was in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Lobster was cheaper than steak.

Second best were mussels served in Sicily with a garlic, lemon, and butter. NE does have great seafood, but best in the world is a matter of experience. Good seafood is a gift from Poseidon.

Gary: I live 20 miles from Abbott’s; ‘nuf said!

Closed during the winter. They have real clam chowder, neither creamy Boston or the oxymoronic Manhattan, but a clear clam broth.

I haven’t been in ages but it could be fun.

When I was an undergraduate you could get lunch for a dollar at Durgin Park on the weekend if you got there on time. Raw oysters to start, then a full lunch with corn bread, and Indian pudding with ice cream to finish it off. There was no need to eat for the rest of the weekend. Sort of a python diet.
