feasting on fish - View this location on map  'At first glance, the Monterey Fish House (831-373-4647), with its bright lighting, industrial-style carpet and pale green walls with family pictures, doesn't look like much. But don't let that deter you. The place is packed with locals thanks to its hearty portions of simple tasty seafood and its friendly staff. The restaurant is known for the food cooked on its oak-fired grill, especially the oysters ($9.95) and its split lobsters and Dungeness crab ($18.95 to $32.95). If you don't want to wait for a table, grab a stool at the bustling oyster bar.'' New York Times 2114 Del Monte Avenue, Monterey, CA Restaurant |
