630762 Tue Jun 23 13:37:06 -0700 2009 3 61 Austin 0 4799101 Looking for a place that serves decent seafood in the downtown area that doesn't cost an arm and leg. The couple we are with would never spend the money required to dine somewhere like Eddie V's. (just to set a price standard) Maybe something with a Mexican flair? Or just standard seafood. Thanks all. Tue Jun 23 13:37:06 -0700 2009 222865 FoodChic 1 4802500 You could go to the captain's or Quality seafood. Neither is downtown, though.

It's a chain, but from my understanding started out in Austin. I was surprised by how many seafood dishes are on the menu. I've never eaten there though. Here's the link: http://www.ztejas.com/z-tejas-6-street.html Wed Jun 24 15:37:20 -0700 2009 4799101 20951 Helind 1 4804670 I'd either head east Reggie's at Chicon near 12th or Nubian Queen Lola and help someone who helps everyone else (and get some great food). Head to Shoal Creek Saloon. Lots of downtown area restaurants have small plates/tapas. Pick your favorite that has seafood as a part of the mix. Or better yet look at some happy hour specials, even the four seasons is offering some great deals at happy hour. Thu Jun 25 06:32:49 -0700 2009 4799101 67950 rollledspleen
