Billy's Seafood Company

Frommer's Staff

It's not fancy but it's not a dive; it's just right. Billy Grant's seafood eatery off King's Square gets big points for its friendly staff, fresh-off-the-boat seafood (they sell it to City Market customers during the day), better pricing than the tourist-oriented seafood restaurants on the waterfront, and great attitude toward kids. They really know how to cook fish here without overcooking it. Specialties of the house include cedar-planked salmon, Billy's bouillabaisse, and delicious lighter entrees: lobster rolls, oysters-and-chips, and a chicken breast club sandwich. They also serve steak, pasta, and even a rack of lamb if you're somehow not in the mood for fish.
