While in town for a relative's wedding, I was seeking some good seafood. Another relative steered me away from Legal Seafood ("quality has slipped since the family sold in the 90's") to Skipjack's.

It's a pit pricey, but it's worth it. more

Food is more interesting than Legal Seafoods but both are good. Staff fell all over themselves to make me happy on the one bad experience I had. I appreciated that and would definitely continue to eat there. more

Another relatively pricey seafood restaurant. Food is good, but I like Legal Seafood's better for some intangible reason. more
