We look at it as the poor man’s Pappadeaux, with humbler aspirations and much humbler prices. Funny thing is, the more we go there, the more we like it; it’s gotten to the point where we’d rather sit at a tin-topped table at Razzoo’s than wait in line at Pappadeaux. The blackened tilapia fillet, for […]

If volume drives freshness and freshness drives quality, then Rex’s is probably one of the best places in Dallas to pound some seafood. The seafood shop with tables for casual eating is the best place in Dallas to slurp on oysters from the north. Sandwiches combine fish and shellfish with bacon and bright condiments that […]

Famous Hawaiian chef Roy Yamaguchi (he has a TV show and 32 restaurants bearing his name) brings his island-Asian-Cal-Gallic rumba to the land of lone stars and two-stepping steers with mostly satisfying results. The menu changes nightly except for a couple of worthy stalwarts like the Ahi Tuna poketini,” a kind of raw tuna and […]
A go-to for Gulf oysters, where the turnover is so high a team of shuckers work up front at lightning speed. With custom made cocktail sauce and a handful of crackers you can make a whole meal out of these meaty specimens.
The specialty here is Mediterranean-style grilled seafood, offered in a weekday lunch buffet, but the real action at Sayyad is in the evenings, when grilled fish and seafood kebabs can take center stage.

Yes, shopping here can be more expensive than a trip to Tom Thumb, but that’s because TJ’s buys from ethical purveyors and […]
With its chrome trimmings and white-tiled floor, Truluck’s has everything your grandmother loves in a restaurant: a straight-up menu of seafood and steak served with cheese-ridden mashed potatoes; a display tray of crab claws presented tableside; dense chocolate cake carved into slices as thick as Russian novels; and Frank Sinatra on the stereo. But the […]
Uchiko is the latest gem in James Beard award winner Tyson Cole’s culinary crown, a take on the Uchi concept, imbued with flame-kissed excellence. While Uchiko’s menu offers plenty of nigiri, sashimi and makimono that wouldn’t feel out of place on Uchi’s table, the key differences come “from the hearth”, the wood grill which is key […]
