McCormick & Schmick’s
McCormick & Schmick’s diners love the fresh fried fish and huge variety of delicious seafood options. “The food was amazing,” one fan shared. “We had the Fish and Chips, the batter was light and flakey. The sirloin was cooked just the way it was ordered. The brown butter cake was a great dessert.”
Joe’s Crab Shack
Joe’s Crab Shack has top-quality fried fish, shrimp, crab, and more on the menu. “It’s been a while since we’ve been here, but so glad we stopped by today,” one diner said. “Ordered the fish n chips which was great. Fish perfectly crispy and fries seasoned just right.”
