seafood ??

[Miss Solemnis]

Other options:  Wild Fork does a great job with fish - always perfectly cooked.  Carrabba's (Yes, I know it's a chain.) has excellent mussels and calamari.  And for the best crab cakes around, head to A Bar (in the old Grapevine space).  Marcus' crab cakes are just incredible - big fat chunks of jumbo lump crab, onion, and a little mayo.  None of that nasty cheap dark meat crab and a bunch of filler/breading.  These are spectacular!

For me the best crab cakes in town are at Stonehorse Cafe.  I have yet to find a restaurant that does not over cook scallops or fish.  Bonefish is not all that, basically boring sauces, nothing interesting or inspired.  Islamorada at Bass is only servicable. The original restaurant in Islamorada, Fl does a much better job.  I have come to believe that if it is not natural to the area, then most of the kitchens do not know how to cook it. I grew up on the coast of Florida, I really do not go out for seafood here.

Used to be that Bodean's supplied the fresh fish for most of the area restaurants and had much of it flown in.  Anyone know if that's still the case?

Anyone know if the shrimp trucks still come up from the Gulf w/ fresh catch like they used to 20 years ago?

Bruno,

Thanks, I got signed up on their email list.  They used to stop at the Albertson's parking lot at 81st & Yale when I lived out that way, but I'd not seen their trucks around town in a long while.

White River Fish Market is the best I have found for value in seafood in Tulsa today.



Pennington's had the best fried shrimp for years in Tulsa when they were located on Brookside at the drive in.  Shrimp in a basket complete with a small dinner salad with French Dressing, a hot buttered roll with honey, French Fries and that awesome battered butterfly fried shrimp with Tarter and Cocktail sauce.  

None better I have ever found than Arch Pennington's fried Shrimp.

Having eaten both, I'd rate Bros. Houligan's just a tick better than Pennington's.  They use chicken fry batter on theirs and it's a huge meal.

Fabians didn't waste any time adding me to their email list, they will be here tomorrow, July 11 at Auto Tops of Tulsa on 41st St. east of Memorial.  I believe that's about where the split is for the BA service road.

The Green Onion also has a decent Fried Shrimp deal.  Almost forgot about them, been a few years since I had a really thick Rib-Eye steak that Dean from the radio station ad department bought me.  That was back in the days of expense accounts that seem to of gone the way of the hoola hoop in today's business world.  

They also have some very flavorful Sherried Tomato Soup.  We used to meet there once a month in the back meeting room, when I was in the South Tulsa Professionals group.
