Pelican Pier was OK for me. We started with their Calamari appetizer. It was all right - nothing spectacular. The calamari was not too rubbery but the batter was pretty bland. Had to dip in their cucumber dill sauce a lot. I liked their Seafood Chowder which was nice, smooth and creamy with lots of vege and pieces of seafood. It came with 2 pieces of bread which I didn't eat. I had the Scallops and opted for the Green Salad. The scallops were fresh and the batter good. Just didn't like the cocktail sauce that came with my dish. I had the tartar sauce instead. The green salad with Italian dressing took up about 3/4 of my plate, which incidentally, was in the shape of a fish. I had a taste of the fish n chips. It was all right.
I found the little restaurant a little out of the way. If you go north on 14th Street NW, you can enter the restaurant on the east side of the street but when you exit, you cannot cross 14th Street NW if you want to go back south. I had to do a turnaround in the residential area.
When I entered the restaurant, I was greeted by a lady. I asked for a table not a booth and she said that all they had were tables anyway. I apologized. When we sat down at our table, I noticed there were 2 booths in the corner! How weird for that lady to make me feel embarassed about my remark.
There's a fresh seafood market if you are interested in purchasing seafood. One thing that caught my eye was the big tin of crab meat. Good to note for future crabmeat dishes.
