inest at Sea brand has expanded into “boutiques” offering fresh fish and shellfish. Finest at Sea Seafood Boutique also has daily seafood specials and deli-made food like crab shepherd’s pie or octopus salad. Although some people can’t get enough octopus, I can’t force myself into liking it. I think it may have something to do with being petrified of Ursula in The Little Mermaid. Now that’s one scary octopus that will curse you for sure if you eat her.

Seafood Boutique offers a large selection of chef Bruno’s preserves, spices, and special food to complement your seafood purchases. Prices are reasonable for fresh seafood, such as a bowl of lobster bisque for $4, or a polenta-crusted halibut served with a spicy salsa, roasted potatoes, and salad for $14.

The seafood is fresh, so if like frozen seafood because of the muted taste, you may not like Finest at Sea. And if you just can't get enough of the squishy, smelly stuff, I've found your little piece of heaven.
