So now every time I go, I pick up at least two containers of tartar sauce, and make cole slaw for at least couple of weeks.<br /><br />Is there anyplace comparable in WA? What are your favorite seafood places near you? I like to Google these kind of things.JustinMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976061296214532098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319445054584013211.post-51816599667550606692017-01-25T04:28:17.989-05:002017-01-25T04:28:17.989-05:00One of my all time favorite restaurants ever.

Never had bad meal in the more than 40 years I went there. Never miss going when I visit.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09173450489259280395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319445054584013211.post-1992536769242424992011-06-29T20:53:16.939-04:002011-06-29T20:53:16.939-04:00I've been to Maryland many times, and I agree ...I've been to Maryland many times, and I agree that they are the best.

I know its cliche, but its true. I dont think they should even have the same name as others. They've gotta be lump crab meat, very little filler, and be broiled (this is essential). So amazingly good...if you ever get the chance, do it! And just like any seafood, avoid the chains (ahem Philips).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319445054584013211.post-42379233815709733392011-05-25T02:47:25.263-04:002011-05-25T02:47:25.263-04:00Oh, I know.

And her friends stole a lobster out of the tank one night (she claims she was not involved). They named it Oscar de la Clawa. <br /><br />That was my favorite anecdote about the place for years. But now it has been replaced by this: <br /><br /><i>"We're not allowed to warm up another bag of soup after 9pm."</i><br /><br /><b>Julien:</b> It's all part of their charm.JustinMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976061296214532098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319445054584013211.post-43430368609820907782011-05-24T04:11:58.097-04:002011-05-24T04:11:58.097-04:00Oh, this is fantastic news!

For proof, look at the part of the menu that says "eat lots a fish," and you will find that grammar is not necessary for a professional menu-ista. Hmmmm, "menuista"... is that a word? Oh, wait, I can probably make up words too!Juliennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319445054584013211.post-21347758346527039352011-05-24T03:10:49.906-04:002011-05-24T03:10:49.906-04:00Fun anecdote about the chain with the biscuits...
...Fun anecdote about the chain with the biscuits...<br /><br />We were starving on the way to Vegas and somebody said "Oh, let's go there... they have good biscuits!" Everybody agreed (except me, but begrudgingly I went). I knew it wasn't going to be a fun experience. The highlight of the meal, for me, was when my friend asked if it would be possible for cheese to be added on his sandwich. The waitress replied "I don't see why not..." Naturally, he then asked what types of cheese were available. She stared at him, as if he had three eyes, and goes "We got yellow... and white. Take your pick." This did not bode well.<br /><br />Then I ordered some sort of seafood gumbo. Sounded good, I thought. The waitress came up shortly after ordering and said "We ain't go no more gumbo. We're not allowed to warm up another bag of soup after 9pm." Gross.<br /><br />Funny enough, the biscuits were quite good. And we learned that we could call ahead for them to go and they'd deliver them to our car curbside. So now it's become a tradition to order a few of them freshly baked and have them brought out to our car on the way home from Vegas.Justinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319445054584013211.post-40251711144185705642011-05-23T15:02:29.869-04:002011-05-23T15:02:29.869-04:00LOVE Manhattan clam chowder and it is SO hard to f...LOVE Manhattan clam chowder and it is SO hard to find in manhattan!!! this whole restaurant just looks up my alley-so glad that the seafood is great and that someone besides me used to make cocktail-sauce/cracker sandwiches as a kid! ;)Fritos and Foie Grashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00101830844631920255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319445054584013211.post-43192466706758141812011-05-23T13:16:15.567-04:002011-05-23T13:16:15.567-04:00I love the crab cakes, and I certainly enjoy the c...I love the crab cakes, and I certainly enjoy the clam chowder here (normally, I don't like Manhattan clam chowder) but the lobster is just amazing!
