What to order
- Whatever is local — The single best rule. Gulf shrimp on the Gulf, Dungeness on the Pacific Northwest coast, lobster in New England, catfish in the Mississippi delta.
- Raw bar, if the turnover supports it — Oysters should be shucked to order and listed by name and origin. A generic “oysters” listing is a bad sign.
- Whole grilled fish — Better value and better eating than fillets almost everywhere, and the best test of the kitchen.
- Inland: go for the preparations that suit frozen — Fried, cured, smoked, or in a stew. Excellent fried catfish a thousand miles from the sea is far more likely than excellent crudo.
How to spot a good one
- A short menu that changes — Fish is seasonal and supply-dependent. A laminated menu with twenty species available all year is serving frozen product, which is not automatically bad but is not what you came for.
- Staff who know the boat or the supplier — At a good place this is a normal conversation. Vagueness in answer to a direct question is informative.
- Whole fish on the menu — Hard to fake and hard to hold. A kitchen offering whole roasted or grilled fish is confident in what it is buying.
