| - it was ok, not the greatest, but we're willing to try them again later on down the road. we're hoping they're just going through some growing pains.
haddock sandwich ($7.99). though the menu says it is served grilled, it came breaded and deep-fried. it was ok, the bread was good. had to pay extra for tartar sauce which was disappointing as the other orders came with it.
fish basket ($14.99 includes shrimp, scallops, calamari, haddock, fries, tartar sauce and coleslaw). the order was missing the coleslaw. the seafood was cooked to varying degrees of "doneness". the haddock looked anemic, the batter was shockingly pale, not golden as would be more appetizing, the fish itself was "ok". the scallops were really good and the calamari and shrimps were a bit on the "over done" side. overall everything all together was way too greasy (even for fish and chips), it might have been a different experience if the coleslaw was there to "cut it". one container of tartar sauce wasn't enough for all the seafood. we thought the fish basket would be a good sampler of some of the different seafood they offer. it was hit or miss. while the variety was nice, with the fries it's just too much grease so we don't think we'll be ordering this again as is. if they offered it with a salad option we would probably try it.
scallop salad ($11.99). no choice of dressing, just given what looked like italian (which was tossed in favor of our own). came with tartar sauce and mango salsa (which was a surprise). basic salad of mixed greens, tomato, cucumber and sesame seeds. scallops were cooked to perfection. overall an "a", a bit on the pricey side but would definitely try again. we suggest they offer a bigger selection of dressings.
we did not try the soup, they only had the manhattan chowder, no seafood chowder. we hope in the upcoming colder months they expand their menu to include a soup and half sandwich combo. soup's not enough on its own, and it's way too much food with any of the existing orders, for us at least (and we would never be able to agree on a sandwich to share). ;)
oh and cocktail sauce would be a nice alternative to tartar sauce for the other seafood (other than fish).
