Editorial Review for Captain Marden's Seafoods – by Eric Grossman

The Scene
Once a well-kept secret, Captain Marden's bright, clean dining room often features a wait for one of its two dozen seats (no reservations are accepted). A handful of counter seats are perfect for those dining alone or in a hurry. With plastic utensils, styrofoam plates, and an incredibly young waitstaff, don't expect to be pampered. This is a popular spot for families and seniors. A retail shop sells fish of all stripes, both fresh and frozen.

The Food
Many of the city's top chefs use Captain Marden's wholesale arm as their primary supplier of seafood; the fish served here is exceptional. Haddock and scrod can be prepared broiled or fried, but that's about it, as preparations and presentations are spare. Heaping plates of cheesy shrimp parmesan and fresh lobster rolls round out the menu. For less than two bucks, diners can finish their meal with a slice of homemade pie.

Editor's Review

Bargain-priced, super-fresh fish, served in a bare-bones setting that emphasizes flavor over fluff.  See the full editorial review.
