Default Fish dining experiences are personal and varied. . . from experience

Well, we have to weigh in as we went to eat seafood Saturday night, being from New England, CoachK and I have some experience:

The best experience for us both is night time tuna on our own gas grills which I reeled in earlier the same day off of Cape Cod. I must've ate $300+ of less than 12 hour old tuna tataki at restaurant prices that night. We get fresh Alaskan salmon flown in from the fish market during June and as a teenager, I used to dig and prepare steamers as well as quahogs for home made chowdah.

Note: southern warm water fish is very different than northern cold water fish.

First rate :
Blue fin and Bonefish

Second/Third rate:
Sam's St Johns. . .
The shrimp boil was very good,
the scallops, old and frozen.. . . didn't even taste like scallops.
7PM, and the restaurant emptied out.

However, every one is unique and needs to check out the seafood restaurants themselves, as seafood is an acquired taste, as well fresh vs frozen and fried versus broiled/grilled. . .
