| - A seaside fish stand... in the middle of a food warehouse in Downtown Toronto.
One of the most popular lunch locations in St. Lawrence Market, there is always a line. Everything I had was very fresh, but dishes can be hit or miss.
Lobster Bisque - I loved this. It's very thick and creamy. If you're looking for huge chunks of lobster meat, you won't get any. It's more like a creamy salmon colored chowder. The large bowl is generous portion.
Crab Cakes - These looked really enticing... crisp, crab meat mixed with diced red peppers to give it a mild kick. Unfortunately, it was more filler than crab meat. I wasn't expecting jumbo lumps, just something inbetween. It looks like it's full of crab meat, but each bite felt full of flour. I like the red pepper flavor, but was disappointed at the meat content.
Grilled Whole Red Snapper - $22. Grilled to a crisp on the outside, tender, juicy, and full of meat on the inside. Slightly salted, served with a lemon and fried, browned onion strings on top. A very solid and enjoyable dish. It's not mind blowing. Just a fish grilled the right way. As my friend remarked... it could use a little more flavor. But with fresh fish... better to be under-seasoned than over-seasoned.
If I'm in town again, I would eat here again. Next time I'd probably stick to something simple, like fish and chips and the lobster bisque.
