Can anybody tell me where I can get some new england seafood here in Dallas?

I'm not talking about just crab legs, lobsters, or oysters. Every seafood restaurant got those. I'm looking for fried clam bellies (not clam strips), scallops, good fish and chips, crab cakes, lobster rolls, periwinkles,quohogs and cherrystones. I've been away from Boston for 6 months now and needing to get my seafood fix.

Do I hear that!


I haven't been home (Gloucester) in a year and it totally bums me out in the seafood dept.


Florida has good shrimp, that's about it.


I've heard that Woodman's in Essex ships clams out, you might check with them.

Reply:I've been in Dallas for 3 years now and I can tell you there are no seafood restaurants here which even approach those back home in Boston. If you don't mind bouncing around you can track down some acceptable fare. Daddy Jacks chowder house on Greenville has pretty good fish and chips as does the Old Monk (knox/henderson). I've yet to find any place that sells steamers. Trulucks on McKinney for crabs. Pappadeaux has crazy good deals on oyster plates. Although they are small, Local in deep ellum makes crab cakes the right way (tons of crab). Scallops are a tough one. I like the sweet taste of small Nantucket bay scallops. Most of the scallops I've had in Dallas are the larger sea variety so... Finally there are absolutely no restaurants in Dallas which serve a decent chowder so stop trying.
Reply:Hi, George Bitar here,


Try Fish Mongers on McKinney Avenue.


Thanks,
