New to this area, I asked the hotel clerk where we could find a place
for crab legs, without hesitation she said, "Point Loma Seafood". You see it was our daughter's 9th birthday and that was her meal of choice. We were certainly impressed by the looks of the seafood cases, packed with fresh fish, smoked fish, tanks of live crabs and lobsters and the people seem to flock here. Considering the high energy here, Point Loma's Seafood is doing something right. I personally didn't like the items we ordered for lunch. The White Clam Chowder in a Sourdough Bread Bowl was more of a milky variety, definitely laking in richness and flavor. The Fish-n-Chip Combo came with a ridiculous excuse of a Crabcake, so tiny and flat, a couple of each, breaded shrimp and cod. I also expected a better coating on the fish. I was excited to see that they made up and sold Japanese sushi rolls, so I ordered the Mrs. Kelly's Special Roll, which was so greedy on filling, I really felt I could have done better buying the pre- packaged variety from the grocery store and for much less. Finally the reason we came in the first place, those King Crab Legs.... Admittedly they were great quality for about $23 a pound, but they didn't offer them steamed and they don't carry butter. I give them high marks for their seafood cases, the crabs were feisty and the clams would take turns opening and closing. As a seafood "market" they are all that and a bag of chips cause they definitely know their seafood, they just don't know how to cook it.
