Fiddler's Crab House - Savannah, Ga

This was our only meal in Savannah, and it really wasn't that good.  On top of that, it was quite expensive.  This little restaurant is located on River St.  So it is kind of touristy place.  I ordered the steamed Seafood Platter, which came with snow crab legs, shrimp, oysters, mussels, clams, and crawfish.  It actually came with a decent amount of food.  The thing I didn't like about it, was the the food was not hot when it came out.  So was it cooked ahead of time?  Actually the seafood was decent and I did enjoy eating it.  Even the crawfish which I don't eat too much of.  But I probably wouldn't come back.

Passion Fish - Reston, Va

We went her for a special occasion.  We ordered some oysters from Cape Cod as an appetizer.  I've had oysters before and enjoyed some more than others.  These oysters were the best I've had.  The were juicy and plump.  We also ordered the Kamikaze Roll (Tempura Prawns, Avocado, Spicy Ahi Tuna).  The sushi roll was good, but a little odd.  I would probably pass on it next time.  For my main meal, I ordered the Fishermans' Wharf Cioppino.  Now this dish was great.  It include many huge prawns, some clams, mussels and fish.  This dish tasted delicious.  The broth had great flavor and was perfect for dipping with bread.  The other main dish we ordered was the Red Thai Curry Lobster "Claypot".  Although this dish was good, it wasn't great.  There were big pieces of lobster, but it was basically thai curry with lobster.  I can easily make this dish at home.  So that was not a homerun.  Overall, I really enjoyed this meal and the service at the restaurant was very good.  Definitely a place to come back to.

AW Shucks - Charleston, SC

We decided to stop in Charleston on our way to Hilton Head.  Charleston is a nice city.  Very pretty buildings and nice restaurants.  At this restaurant, I ordered the Market Street Platter.  It had shrimp, oysters, scallops, and a filet of flounder.  The seafood was just broiled so, it was cooked in any special way.  However the seafood was very good and I enjoyed it.  The other dish pictured is the Seafood Jambalaya.  Although H said it was good, he didn't finish it all, so perhaps he didn't like it.  Overall this was an interesting restaurant experience.  We sat outside, which was covered.  I enjoyed this restaurant, although it probably wouldn't qualify for fine seafood.

Kentmorr Restaurant - Stevensville, MD

We ate at this restaurant after spending an hour or so at Sandy Point Park. Although the park was quite crowded, there really wasn't too much there for us. But we found a nice restaurant, out in the middle of nowhere. It is located about 15 minutes outside of Annapolis. What we found interesting driving there was there is a street with houses which have garages for small aircraft and a runway in the back. This restaurant is located right next to a marina, so parking was an issue. The inside of the restaurant was pretty basic, since it is a crabhouse. I started with the Maryland crab soup. This soup was very good. There was a lot of crab meat and it was a little spicy. Next I had a crabcake sandwich. I think this was the best crabcake I have ever had. There was no filler, all lump crabmeat. It was cooked too perfection. Overall this was a very nice restaurant with excellent Maryland style seafood.

Bonefish Grill - Ashburn, Va

Bonefish has a special going on Dinner for two for $38, which included an appetizer, salad and main entree. We went on a Friday night and it was packed. Of course I forgot to make reservations. We were seated after 30 minutes. The appetizer was a selection of either the Bang Bang Shrimp or Calamari. We tried the Bang Bang Shrimp. It was delicious. The shrimp was lightly breaded and deep fried. It has a sweet/sour/spicy sauce on top. There was a lot of shrimp for an appetizer. Next we each got a salad. I had the house salad. It was a pretty decent house salad. I was starting to get full after the salad. For the entree I had the grilled shrimp and scallops with a mango salsa and vegetables. The shrimp and scallops were cooked perfectly. The mango salsa added a little sweetness. The vegetables were asparagus. Overall this was an excellent meal. I've eaten at Bonefish before and I thought it was good, but the special menu made it even better.
