| - Mermaid Fish and Grill House is a small Egyptian style seafood restaurant that serves fresh seafood, flown in daily from the Mediterranean.
Their menu revolves around seafood that are cooked to your liking: Fried, bbqd, steamed. Everything is priced by weight, with whole fishes averaging at $25-$40. The calamari and shirmp can range anywhere from $5 to $20, it really depends how much you want!
My first visit, I dined alone; and opted for the bass plate served with rice and a salad, along with a small order of the fried calamari. The fish was tasty, however I prefer a whole fish rather than just a fillet. The calamari was fresh and hot, however gets soggy over time, so squeeze some lemon and this quickly!
My second visit I came with a friend, and ordered a whole seabream (flown in from Greece today) sinigiri style (extra spicy). After being served some appetizers of baba ganoush, home made hot sauce, hummus, salad, and fresh pita bread, the fish came out with a plate of rice.
The fish was butterflied and cooked over a grill giving the fish a smokey taste. The fish itself was well seasoned and had many different flavour profiles with the squeeze of lemon: spicy, salty, sour.
The fish tasted very fresh and it was just the perfect size for 2 people ($30). The owner is a very kind man who works hard at serving the best and freshest seafood. Parking can be tight, as the place is located dead-smack in the middle of a strip mall.
