Editorial Review for Davis Street Fishmarket – by J.P. Anderson
The Scene
With nautical memorabilia on the walls and a big fish tank in the dining room, Davis Street Fishmarket has a casual, comfortable atmosphere that helps pack in customers nightly. Tables are tight in the low-lit dining room, which buzzes with families and dates; if you want to stretch out, grab a high table in the more laid-back bar area.
The Food
Dozens of seafood options range from lobster and crab to lake trout, bluefish, scrod and other catches of the day. Half a dozen succulent jumbo shrimp make up a satisfying cocktail, and stone crab claws are fresh and meaty. Crab wontons and crab cakes are other starter choices. Main plates include favorites like zippy, peppery blackened shrimp served on a skewer, and Alaskan king crab legs, substantial and delicious with a little butter.

Insider Tips
What to DrinkThe Cajun bloody mary is one of the best around, a throat-tickling concoction spiked with Absolut Peppar.

Everything is great. The firecracker shrimps and blackened calamari appetizers are wonderful. We're very pleased with the main course as well (trout and grouper). We'll definitely go back again and again soon.
Pros: Great food, decent service
Cons: valet parking takes a long time

Mediocre at best. Scallops were overdone, gumbo was bland, but the beer was cold and that saved the evening. Probably too much on the menu to really specialize in great tasting entres. It's probably a real treat for NU students, but for a more mature palate, this place is just average.
Pros: enthusiastic servers
Cons: chain rest. food
