Serving pollock as halibut!

I went to the coasters seafood grill upstairs from the fish market restaurant for the second time because the first time I had a good experience. This time I ordered the HALIBUT fish and chips. When I got the order I started eating and I realized it wasn't halibut. AND I AM SURE OF THIS BECAUSE MY PARENTS OWNED AND RAN A FISH AND CHIPS RESTAURANT FOR OVER 10 YEARS! I thought they just made an honest mistake. When I told the server they had mistakenly served us something other than halibut. The server went back to the cook and asked him and she came back and told us that it was indeed halibut. It was very obvious that this fish wasn't halibut. I also know the difference between the taste of the two different fish. JUST A WARNING FOR ANYONE WHO IS PLANNING ON EATING AT COASTERS SEAFOOD GRILL.. IF YOU ORDER THE HALIBUT FISH AND CHIPS, MAKE SURE IT'S HALIBUT! even till the end the manager said it was halibut... I couldn't believe a SEAFOOD restaurant staff and cook didn't know the difference between halibut fish and pollock fish... very disappointing...

The lobster sucked

Having grown up on the east coast I have a very good idea of how seafood should taste. I took my girlfriend here for our 2 year anniversary, I ordered the maritime platter which is a 50 dollar plate, and she ordered seafood/scallop linguini. They gave us complimentary appetizers which was very nice, after waiting a reasonable amount of time my meal arrived, it was HUGE. A full lobster, 4 king crab legs, smoked salmon, scallops, 5 jumbo shrimp (I got extra shrimp because I didn't want the crab stuffed mushrooms), rice pilaf and veggies. The meal looked incredible, unfortunately it was very far from incredibly tasting. The lobster tasted like it had a yeast infection, the shrimp was very dry, the salmon was extremely dry, the scallops were just... not right. The crab legs were the most normal tasting item on the plate, but even then the butter dip was also not very good. The entire plate was way too dry, almost as if it was sitting under a heat lamp for a half an hour. The service was excellent, but I probably won't go back

Officially my worst dining experience ... EVER !

Picture this, finally a night out with my wife without kids. Living in Ottawa we rarely get the chance to get to the market due to family, so for our night off we head there. It's been a while since we have gone to the Fish Market, so hey why not. Oh, my what a mistake. In the middle of dinner, there is some bad luck and the fire alarm goes off, everyone needs to leave. About 3/4 of an hour later we are allowed to go back in, our food has been taken away to be re-cooked (I assume via Microwave). This turned average food into nothing better then eating a rubber chicken. Here is the insult though, the bill came and everything was full price. On my way out the door I questioned the rational for not discounting at least the $10 appetizer (after all the total bill was 140). The response from the hostess shocked me. "We lost so much business because of the fire alarm, we can't afford to." Now there is a customer first attitude. Cheers Ben
