I was kidding but Z still is pretty sharp dressing. When he puts some effort into it

Most common restaurant seafood for me: crispy fried whole flounder with an apricot glaze and with sides of grits and collards.

I think this dinner is costing around $18-20

We get live lobsters in Spring, Summer and Fall routinely for $9/lb. They're usually 1.25+ pounds.
They're good.
Shoprite.

I used to know a guy who you could buy fresh shrimp, lobster and scallops from right off the boat. At the time it was $4/lb. Think he's up around $15 now... this was nearly 10 years ago. They were all bang on 1.3 lb lobsters though. Stuff tasted like candy.

Nah, St. Augustine is too touristy for me, I tend to head south from Daytona.
McKenna's (on US1) place used to get Maine lobster in once a year, but no longer.
Goodrich's Seafood did have a good reputation, but I'm not a fan.
There's just too many places to mention here, and I didn't even touch on the more upscale ones, like Outrigger's Tiki Bar & Grille.

Had this a while back on Bowen Island.
Well executed, so crispy if you dropped a piece on the floor from a height it would've shattered to pieces. Crispy yet moist and with twice fried fries

Is that Arthur Treachers?

The aforementioned Lobster House in Cape May, NJ has knocked it out of the park on each of my visits.

I once worked with a woman whose pop was a railroader. They'd take their "busman's holiday" meals at the Lobster House.

 

[Legs4Arms]

It's a pub called Doc Morgan's on Bowen Island.

Shoprite is where I got the lobster tails. They had a great sale on frozen ones a few weeks back. I stocked up.

There's a place as you enter Cape May...The Lobster House restaurant. It's legendary and it's rightfully labeled a tourist trap but the seafood is excellent and much of it's fresh off the commercial fishing boats that are integral to one of the major industries in the region. It's relatively expensive, but it's good. The restaurants, raw bars, seafood and take out markets are just the retail outlet for their large seafood processing and shipping business. They get a lot of fresh seafood directly...lobsters, fish of many varieties, scallops. What they don't get is Atlantic sourced shrimp... because there really aren't any.
In the Mid-Atlantic and most of the country, you're not getting local, wild caught shrimp. 80% is frozen from farms in India, Indonesia, Thailand....some from South America.
Directly to the OPs post.
My favorite is their cold seafood platter. It's a half stuffed 1.25-1.5lb lobster stuffed with shrimp salad. 5 very large shrimp, 5-6, mussels,
4-5 crab claws...not blue claws. It's about $38.
Here's what current prices look like.

Enjoyed reading the menu, thanks for posting.

It is a shame that farm shrimp, typically for SE Asia is now the standard. One can only imagine the filth and very unsanitary conditions those shrimp are raised in.

My Chinese place had a good seafood combo platter....
What made it good was the owner allowed me to get it sans bogus crab, broccoli, and baby corns

I don't ever order any seafood whatsoever from a Chinese restaurant. Having viewed live and unfrozen seafood in many Chinese markets (to include Chinese market in Honolulu), absolutely no way would I ever order seafood from a Chinese restaurant.

If looked and smelled so bad and repulsive in the Chinese market, imagine it is even worse in Chinese restaurant.

 

[GON]

It's like Olive Garden, 90% of the food is pre-made, comes shipped in a giant bag from some factory, and then microwaved. It hits the spot if you order the right dish and are in a hurry.

Guess where I am this very moment. 99 percent of all restaurant food comes from two suppliers, and yes it is just microwave or commissary prepared food.

Much of it here is funneled through NYC... that says it all.
