Inspired by the truly informative and appetizing steakhouse topic, let's have a thread on remarkable fish and seafood restaurants worldwide. The US East and West Coasts, South American specialities, Scandinavian Islands, the Bretagne and Normandie, Mediterranean ports... So much to choose from. ^

EDIT on October 7th: Oops, thanks to jpatokal and his recent trip report ( http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showt...5&page=1&pp=15 )noticed got both the beach and name wrong:

Sorry if I'm so fixated on Asia again, but I am particularly fond of the Millak Raw Fish Center on Gwangali beach in Busan, Korea. They have a fishmarket with a great variety of still alive Pacific fish, mussels, oysters, sea snails and every possible creature downstairs where you first enter to choose your dishes. After that you can select your restaurant from several upstairs where the cooks will prepare your choice while you idle away with a drink in hand looking at the magnificient beach view. In the summer and early autumn/fall there will be firework displays over the beach in evening time.

For a more down-to-earth delicacy, most sandwich shops in Amsterdam offer a tasty Herring sandwich filled with Matjes fillets, raw onion, boiled egg slices and some vinegar. Mmm, just don't go to a meeting afterwards without having at least a packet of chewing gum.

And I guess I should mention the Blinnis and Caviar at the 1812 in St.Petersburg, Russia. Although I personally prefer other fish eggs more, it would be blasphemy not to have a few with some local Vodka and Russian live music.
