We went out to dinner with friends the other night, and decided to eat at Bay Park Fish Company. Now I had eaten lunch there once, and liked it, but never had dinner there. And we all came away impressed. In fact Emily, who used to work at the Fish Market in days of yore, thought it was one of the best seafood meals she had ever eaten.
Bay Park Fish Company has been around for a few years, part of the influx of good restaurants into Bay Park/Morena. It is not big, but the seating is nicely placed, and the decor is very seafood, with pictures of fishermen and large fish replicas on the wall. Casual, but still nice.
Sharlynn had a seared ahi, with black sesame seeds, shittake mushrooms, and a spicy Asian sauce that was very tasty. Seth had scampi, which came with lots of pasta. Very large shrimp came with it. Emily had a mahi with sun-dried tomatoes and rockfish in a buerre blanc sauce, and it looked great. And I have to say, my macadamia-crusted halibut was out of this world. Really well prepared, the crust broiled or sauteed crisply, but the halibut remaining moist and very flavorful. Mine came on abed of mashed potatoes with carrot and asparagus spears radiating out from center. Nice presentation, not ostentatious, but pleasing.
All the plated came out looking good, again, not overly presented, but it made you want to dig in. The service was good, if slightly rushed. The one bad thing was the side of bread I ordered. Now they make sandwiches, but gave me bread that tasted several days old. They need to upgrade that a bit.
Otherwise, it was a very nice dinner, and we will go back.
