Fish house on the Peoria.com Forums - Page 2

My wife & I had talked about going there before, but in the nearly 12 years we've lived here we still haven't made it.


I'm curious to know what joerl considers to be a 'quality' restaurant around here...

Buy the Norwegian salmon at Sam's... marinate it yourself and grill it at home. Delicious.
And when Fresh Market has specials on seafood, we get the Sea Bass.. pricey yes.. but if grilled with the most minimal seasoning.. melts like butter in your mouth! Sides are grilled or oven roasted asparagus, baby purple potatoes...or peppers.. grilled.. with a citrus rice.

I haven't found a 'great' seafood place locally.. but most of the time I'd rather experiment in my own kitchen for that kind of money. That doesn't mean there aren't dishes (seafood) served locally that I won't eat.. just means I don't have a favorite restaurant for seafood.

And stop bashing Peoria Peepers! I enjoy the positive aspect of the blog because it gives good reason to at least give new restaurants a try rather than than going off others negative reviews.

Sorry, I no longer read reviews by Peoria Peepers. If I wanted only positive reviews I would just call the restaurant and ask them what they think of the food. I want the truth.

I choose to support local businesses. If someone wants to start a blog bashing area businesses and/or restaurants, I'd be glad to read and chime in.

I don't know about Peepers, but when I used to do restaurant reviews on my blog, I only reported on the good ones. I was giving people a heads up of WHERE to go. There were a lot of mediocre and worse meals that I didn't want to waste my time typing about.

Agreed. I have had plenty of mediocre experiences dining out, but posting about them on a blog supporting local business would be pretty counter productive in my mind.
