I've been to Penn Ave Fish Co twice and I can't wait to go back! Brunch, soup, sushi...it's all so good!
On visit one I went with the soup and salad bar. It's a weigh and pay method and it was a bit confusing to find the scale and the employees just leave you to it...we never did find the printer so we wrote the weights on a napkin! There were 2 soup options: one was cream based with crab and one had salmon with tomato base. I tried both and they were both so flavorful and rich. The salad bar was small and I don't remember anything remarkable about it. We also ordered salmon sushi and it was perfect.
On my second visit I went with the smoked salmon benedict. The poached egg was perfectly cooked with a soft and velvety yolk. I relished every bite. The tasty home fries side was cheesy and thus was very heavy and greasy. I could have done without the mayonnaise cole slaw it came with. I would prefer a green salad to complement the heavy potatoes and rich eggs.
The atmosphere is fish market meets deli. There are tables in the market area and also near the buffet in an adjoining room. With metal chairs on a hard floor it can get loud in there.
I still crave that salmon benedict and I will be back!
