ok Smarty, I now understand from your post about butter fish why you want to go to Roy's here in Chicago.
Favorite seafood experiences (sorry can't always name the restaurant):
Frog leg's as a kid, they used to serve them in more restaurants than they do now
Freshwater fish (walleye, perch, pike) that we caught, cleaned and fried or grilled up (includes camping)
Bookbinder's in Philadelphia (now closed
)
Oyters on the 1/2 shell at Felix's in New Orleans, also first oyster po' boy sandwich.
Chili and pepper crab in Singapore
Fresh fried smelt w/cold beer in a local bar when they are being caught in Lake Michigan
Sushi at Tesuke market in Tokyo and even more enjoyable was Tojo's in Vancouver
wild Alaskan King Salmon at some restuarant in Seattle. I'm now a salmon snob because of this incredible fish, not much from the Atlantic compares to Pacific IMO.
Various Poke in Hawaii
Lobster roll sandwiches in Maine
Soft shell crabs
Best fast food seafood in Chicago is the grilled yellow fin tuna sandwich at Portillo's.
