This is hard to write because of how long I've been coming to this restaurant. And I don't want anyone to think I'm one of those people who is unhappy because it's not the Fish Market anymore. Yes change must happen... and they've made many good changes. I think it's a good formula for success... but I will not be back.
I've been coming to this restaurant since 1990. back in the day, I was a fan because of the great seafood. and that hasn't changed... they still bring fresh fish into town from their own fishing fleet like they always have. this is a rare treat folks... especially in Phoenix where fresh fish is only available at a few elite places. but about 5 years ago, I began coming here for their excellent sushi bar. and that's the part that I'm unhappy about. yes they still do good sushi... but they have dumbed down the menu... many of the best items aren't even on the menu anymore. I could live with that until they eliminated the baked green mussels. it was the best thing. best thing! and it's simply not there anymore.
why get rid of something so sublime and delicious? this was the one thing I always ordered, and even brought out of town friends here to show them. but sadly, it's no longer available. and if I can't get that, there's no reason to return to this place. so, sorry guys... sorry Wade and Tim who I've been happy to work with for over ten years... I've paid my last visit.
UPDATE: The manager of BG contacted me via Yelp to let me know that the green mussels will be back... if so, I will too.
