2010 - Best Seafood Restaurant

Readers’ Pick:

Red Lobster

Multiple locations

Rating: -76 (from 96 votes)

We once had a friend who would lunch weekly at Red Lobster just to see how many of those Cheddar Bay Biscuits he could wolf down, but we think readers have loftier reasons in mind — such as the wide variety of fresh seafood in preparations that are accessible to most and prices that won’t break the bank. McCormick & Schmick’s is a distant second.

Our Pick:

Catfish Alley

3620 E. Flamingo Road

Rating: +5 (from 33 votes)

Broiled and baked are good, no doubt about it, but often when we want seafood we want fried seafood, and at that, Catfish Alley truly excels. Actually, it excels at lots of things — such as the fried creamed corn; how about that? — and is the kind of quiet neighborhood place we like best, all of which keep it close to our hearts.
