Guide Review - McGrath's Fish House
The main course at McGrath's Fish House was much better. The fried food eater of our group ordered, naturally, the Seafood Combination Platter ($14) and was very pleased with it. Crab Cakes ($15) were large and a plentiful serving, but--I couldn't put my finger on it--not very crabby tasting. Prawn and Scallop Skewers ($15) were the highlight of the evening, with plenty of lightly grilled shrimp, a few scallops, and grilled vegetables. All dinners come with a choice of sides and a salad.
Our server at McGrath's Fish House recommended the Marionberry Cobbler for dessert. It wasn't really a cobbler, but with hot fruit filling, and kind of thick (not flaky) crust on top and a large scoop of French vanilla ice cream it was the kind of dessert I prefer over chocolate selections. By the way--it was huge! Thumbs up from me, despite the misleading name of the concoction.
