Last night she confessed that she is debating "falling off the wagon" and eating fish for the first time in years. She admitted that she probably couldn't do anything that still looked like sea-life - so no lobsters or shrimp or anything. I'm guessing a fried fish sammy of some sort would be more on order. So the question is -- which restaurant in town would you go to if you were only going to have one fish meal ever?

It was awesome, like buttah! If she just wants a good fish sandwich, Amelias has a pretty good fried haddock sandwich with fries for around $8. I've never eaten at Duckworths, but I hear their fish dishes are good. Nate

Then you can stroll around Stage Fort. I'd suggest other places if you wanted a fish dinner but if its a simple fish sandwich then The Cupboard or Lobster Pool will do. You can brown bag your booze at the Lobster Pool. GoodMorningGloucester Blog -Updated Many Times Daily Freaks of The Lobster and Crab World Slideshow Dead Rotten Fish Slideshow Boston Seafood Show

I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints The sinners are much more fun...

For just a plain ol' fish sangwich, head to the Cupboard, $4.50 for the sang, add fries or slaw to that! Plus, you don't have to go far (or anywhere) for the post-meal icecream... For fried seafood plates, I like Essex Seafood on 133 more than the others in that neck of the woods. I haven't been to the Lobster Pool before (probably because it is WAY up in Rockport), how is it there?

We got a brie and apple panini and a turkey/salami/provolone panini, both oh so good. Dogtown berry iced tea was refreshingly good, and Milkyway coffee, decadent. We will definitely being going back. Anyone else have a good menu pick worth trying there?

I guess we'll wait and see what the weather's like before we make our final decision. I think she knows about the "feeling ill" thing - I've told her about the time a waitress promised me the french onion soup was vegetarian - oops! But apparently she has fond memories of fish sticks as a kid and wants to relive them in the home of the Gorton's Fisherman LOL!

They said it was delicious (it was haddock), and about half of the half ordered another "round." The second portion was equally as large as the first, and they could have more slaw and fries, too, if they wanted. Not a bad deal at all if you're going to eat fish "once." Oh, and it comes in "cubey" shapes, so it doesn't look like what it used to be!!

Some of the best I've had were Cupboard, Gloucester House, Fish Shack (very good), and believe it or not, Flavs last summer.
