How does a fish store keep things fresh? Serve what you sell of course! Other places also do this but it's easier said than done. At worst it becomes an after thought and customers can tell right away. I'm glad to say that Honest Weight cooks the seafood right. I ordered both the clam chowder and the curried squid/pineapple salad and both were very nice.
The chowder had a nice smoky taste to it from the bacon bits and the mussels and clams were plentiful. The bread is not their own as another reviewer wrote but ordered in and they choose a very nice place to do so. Credit to Honest Weight for not going cheap with the bread. Matched the soup nicely.
Squid was done just right, not rubbery but definitely not raw either. The dressing was a yoqourt/tartar/mayo blend of some kind, very nice. The grilled pineapples were nice and complimented the squid with a bit of citrus, a nice change from the typical slice of lemon.
Also bought some fish to take home to cook that same night and that turned out to be very good also.
So all in all, a very pleasant experience and I'm sure the Junction will be very happy that Honest Weight is the neighborhood as I'm sure word is going to spread as it seems to be getting quite a bit of buzz already in the media. I'll definitely be back to pick up more fresh fish next time I'm in the area.
