    Ahaha! I heard the orgasmic guy’s voice in my head!

    And both can be awesome, sometimes I do just want a giant fuck off plate of battered and fried semi-identifiable ocean things and sometimes I want a nice piece of fish.

    The one on the right is me and my girls date night spot. Haddock sandwich, side of fried oysters and with a couple pints.

    After having had the best of both worlds, i can safely say capn barnacle wins every time.

    There was a place just out of town called Barnacle Bill’s, had a big steering wheel and a pirate statue at the front. I remember paying $11 for fried fish, shrimp, hush puppies and fries. I miss that place.

  6. There’s a third type in tourist destinations. Some kind of vague innuendo, lots of pastel and distressed t shirts for sale up front that you see on white girls back home, and a really mediocre po boy that took 30 minutes to get while you downed a 15 dollar souvenir margarita and watched gulls pilfer from unbussed tables.

    There’s a fish market that does sandwiches and platters by me. They literally take whatever fish/shellfish you want, bread and fry it, and slap it on a paper plate with sliced white bread, fries and tartar sauce. They also are incredibly rude and generally unhappy people.

    It’s by far and away the best piece of fried fish I’ve ever eaten in my life.

    (They also do whole belly clams and not the wack ass clam strips)

    The second place is where you go to get seafood that was caught same day and costs a fraction of what you normally see it go for

    Left side:239.98 plus 20% automatic gratuity, right side: 12.99 and a stick of gum.

  10. TamingTheTiger

    I would almost kill for a plate of fried clam strips right about now.

  11. There’s a place called sea harvest miss landing in Moss Landing Cali that I stop by every time. They do such good stuff and it’s a ton of food for a reasonable price. 

  12. Best part about the right kind of restaurant on the southern coast, you can get the first one at the second place. Blackened redfish, fresh raw oysters, and a fired shrimp po-boy to go? I miss this.

    Absolutely hate people who use “Sexy” “Orgasmic” and similar modifiers for food, they need to be served a slice of Thesaurus.

    “Mrs Simpson, may I remind you you’re under oath?”

    “We drove around until 3 AM looking for another all-you-can-eat fish restaurant.”

    “And when you couldn’t find one..?”

    “We went fishing….”

    And this instantly had me wanting to play both Dave the Diver & Dredge.

    Honestly, I could go for some sorta turbo-deepfried “Captains Platter” after the day I’ve had.

    Y’know the kind that always has overcooked tiny, deep fried clam strings.

    There’s a third genre of place and it’s “Welcome to Grandmamaw’s Big Boiler, we’ll serve you up any sea critter they got ’round these parts boiled, fried, or blackened with any one of our signa’toore sauces and marinades ya like and a big bucket o’ fries. What’ll you have, sug?” and it’s always in a tiny little hole-in-the-wall joint with minimal decor but the nicest black/cajun/creole family you’ve ever met behind the counter.

    2 seafood places that I wish I could go back to.

    1st was in California. It was in San Pedro. It was a restaurant that would call out to fishing boats that were coming in, asking for what they caught.

    They would find one they wanted and buy the whole boatload. Then the boat would come in an dock at the pier that was connected to the restaurant.

    And what ever they had, was the menu for the day. Holy shit. I sometimes think back to my youth and believe that this restaurant was the catalyst for me wanting to go into the culinary field.

    Everything was so good and well made.

    And the second place was somewhere in Florida. I went with my family for a family vacation down there from Georgia. I was 20 at the time and insisted on driving my own car down there.

    Side note, I genuinely did not like going place with my family at this point. You’ll see why in a sec.

    We spent the whole day there and were heading back. We pulled over at a restaurant stop as they all were deciding on where to eat. We were still in Florida. We were still one hour away from any beach.

    The dinner options they wanted to pick from were mcdonalds, wendys, pizza hut, and burger king.

    I got tired of listening to them, looked up the closest seafood restaurant on my phone, told my mom I’ll see her at home, and just left.

    They ended up following me to this small list restaurant that was on a river. First time I’ve ever had fresh grilled black bass, fondant potatoes, and romanesco. But want a great meal.

    Family was also very happy with the seafood they all got. Which is funny. Because they’re all from El Salvador, near Lake Olomega. So they love seafood. And we were in freaking Florida. Come on.

    As a former Nantucketer I will firmly plant my flag behind this statement.

    In my part of the world, you have to add in the cajun themed.

    I have both kinds of seafood places near my house. I’ll absolutely always prefer the place that kinda looks like shit, where you don’t even know what kind of fish you’re being served; but where the food is absolutely insanely good

    guessing this is an american joke, the vast variety of different type of seafood joints in Aus is wild

    This is one of the perks of living in Korea: more than two kinds of seafood places (within walking distance). Giant pot of various selfish, sashimi, grilled mackerel, fish soup, shrimp, sushi at a few price levels, Chinese spicy seafood noodles, a place with various oyster dishes…

  23. Cheshires_Shadow

    Is the second guy not just Shayne from Smosh’s dumpster wizard?

  24. ckglle3lle

    These days the one on the left is more likely the legit food while the one on the right is a marketing exercise for a commercial real estate firm

  25. FatherDotComical

    My favorite fish place has wall to wall fancy murals and the food also comes on a metal lunch tray.

    Some of it is painted Greek ruins, some of it Italian vineyard, the rest a random assortment of things…they also will grill up any of their fried foods instead and I swear it’s ten times better than any fancy fish place I’ve been. They don’t even serve Greek or Italian food.

    It has to have the right amount of cheesy flair and decor that you can tell was made by a local.

    Now I really want oysters, either place will do
