Finally! A real lunch! The Boss Lady and I decided to catch up and took a trip to Golden Seafood House. It sounds Chinese but it's not. It's Mexican seafood and it is pretty fantastic. Good crowd of working dudes and Mexican families there all happily eating. Most of the big burly dudes were having soup which made us wonder what they knew we did not on the soup front. Next time I will have to have the soup I guess.
Started with a large ceviche. Nice tang and spice. All the fish was fresh and done well. Could have used more avocado but since Boss Lady doesn't eat avocado I got to have it all so ultimately it worked out.
My main dish was the fried shrimp and oyster combo. I subbed out my fries or fried rice option for a salad. I figured the fish was enough fried for the day. Got a nice big side salad that was good and fresh. Likewise the fried shrimp and oysters were fantastic. Fresh and had a nice cornmeal breading that I prefer to a heavier batter. Also not greasy tasting. No idea how they managed that but I'm not complaining. Delicious and a good portion. I wasn't able to eat all the shrimp and oysters.
Afterwards we ventured over to the fresh produce market down the street and wandered around there a bit. Pretty cool open air market. I bought some mushrooms and parsley. Could have also bought a ton of other stuff that I had no idea what it was. cactus leaves, any kind of dried pepper, agave leaves, things that looked like albino coconuts and other things that looked like avocados with chia pet hair. Those, frankly, were a little unsettling and scared me. Throw in great weather and it was a very nice end to the week.
Golden seafood House: a solid 4 and recommended
