Last Monday we visited the SEA CATCH Restaurant on the Canal in Georgetown (www.seacatchrestaurant.com) and while I have not been there in ages, I was surprised to find the quality of the food at the highest of levels. We took Samuel with us as it was an early birthday celebration of mine with the entire family (we celebrated the next day--to be reported soon...).
As always Samuel had the FISH & CHIPS and while the fried fish was indeed superb, he seemed to prefer only the fries on this outing. Will started with Purita's Famous GAZPACHO with Crab which was good, but not a bowlover creation. My OYSTER CEVICHE was a great idea to dress up the bivalves and keep their flavor. They were simply dressed with tomato, cilantro and lime and were delish. So much so that we ordered some more raw oysters: Chesapeake, Deer Creek (Washington) & Kusshi (British Columbia); all were superb.
A bottle of VERDEJO from Jose Pariente "Vinedos Dos Victorias" 2007 was a great option with our food as well as it goes with spice from the gazpacho, the oysters and more.
Will opted for the GRILLED SWORDFISH plain with Vegetables as he is dieting, and loved it. I adored the WILD VIRGINIA BLUEFISH with Parsnip Puree, Red Pepper Coulis and slivers of Fried Onions. It was a great preparation of an oh-so-much overlooked fish.
As it was my birthday some desserts came out and we nibbled only a bit. Samuel loved his Lemon Sorbet and the WARM CHOCOLATE CAKE was intense, so I stopped at two bites. The CREME BRULEE was extremely good with a nice crunchy top.
We went home full knowing that SEA CATCH is a good choice if you are in Georgetown, like nice decor (there are tables on the canal) and want a wide variety of seafood choices.
