Best Seafood in the City

[Sambucca]

A personal favorite- LURE at Prince & Mercer.

A long tiome ago I would have said London Lenny's on Woodhaven Blvd.

Now, I would fight anyone who said it wasn't Le Bernardin, and I still like Oceana over RM.

 

[justlooking]

The only people who say it isn't Le Bernadin are reverse snobs.

It's easy to like Oceana more than RM when RM has been closed for years. Do you know anyone who's been to Oceana since Neil Gallagher left, though? Is it still good?

 

[justlooking]

Well, depending on what you mean by "seafood", you could also say Karuma Zushi.

If you're rich.

 

[Slinky Bender]

Is it really "years"? This getting old shit has got to stop. Remember why we ate there?

And I think most wouldn't list Kuruma Zushi as seafood.

 

[justlooking]

Yes I do. Maybe we should stop with this "years" shit.

 

[Sambucca]

Oceana would be an excellent choice. I didn't want to confine it to just sushi
or a raw bar.

And for the rest of us non-trust fun babies, or those of us who aren't on an expense account, Aquagrill isn't half bad.

Also, some of those moderately priced lobster roll places are worth mentioning, like Pearl Oyster Bar (by far the best of the lot), Mermaid Inn and Fish.

Right, Monk. And the place on Carmine Street (too drunk to look it up).

Although it's on Cornelia, not Carmine, I have a feeling that Pearl Oyster Bar is "the place on Carmine Street".

 

[stevana]

Right, JL. I need to put one of those breathalyzer things that will disable your car on my computer.

At the Master Buffet in Rockville Centre on LI you can eat as many clams on the half shell, Mussels, Jumbo Shrimp, Sushi (although you should leave the Sushi chef a tip of a dollar or two for each serving) and Giant Crab legs as you want for about $12 - $13.

Is it any good, elmo?

The seafood is fresh; the atmosphere is not fancy, it’s not a place you would take someone to impress them (more of a family restaurant). The sushi bar does not offer a wide selection.

The main thing with this place is the low price, it’s a great place to go to when you just want to pig out on fresh seafood.

So true!

You can think of it as the Harmony burlesque of seafood restaurants. Cheap, plain, but a place where you can quench your gluttony for seafood.

But unlike that late, great establishment, hairy tuna is not on the menu.
