Good Fish Restaurant Near the Westin?

[andreahb]

I'll be in town for business for one night and want to find a good place for dinner near the Westin. I'm looking for fish, but not seafood.

And there is always B.A.N.K. in the Westin itself. Not necessarily fish-centric, but probably fish on the menu done well.

And do take the time to have a drink at the bar, either way. It is a gorgeous room.

I took "not seafood" to mean the OP is seeking fresh water / local fish. Sea Change doesn't post a menu, but I don't think it's focus if fresh water, and Oceanaire also lacks any fresh water options. Maybe OP meant no mussels, shrimp, crab, etc., hopefully they will clarify.

Sea Change does indeed post menus on the web; they are listed under "Concept" on the website, so a little harder to find. I have had some very good food there and would definitely recommend it to the OP.

I knew I'd seen menus on there before. Still, no fresh water fish.

They used to have a striped bass that was fresh-water at Sea Change, but it was muddy, under-seasoned and terrible the time I had it.

I still like the Firelake recommendation. I also love the smelt fries at Red Stag (as well as the perch and blue gill fish fry) and anyplace that serves Star Prairie trout...Spoonriver frequently has freshwater fish, but it is a special so there is no way to tell day-to-day.

Thanks for all of the responses! I meant no mussels, shrimp, etc. I'm looking for "kosher" fish, is all.

In that case, I'd go with the Sea Change recommendation. Spoonriver is also right next door and, I believe, usually has a fish entree. Red Stag is also reasonably close - but probably not close enough to walk.

If you're looking for fish that's not cooked, Nami and Origami would be my choices Downtown for sushi.

I would go to Atlas Grill. They have fire roasted salmon and sea bass that are great. And their appetizers and side dishes are great too.

I've always been happy with Oceanaire. Plenty of options ala carte along with their 3 course, $30 menu.

Also, Sea Change (walkable from the Westin).

You might be in luck.

Fire Lake appears to being a fresh water fish menu for June. I've never been there, but I tried googling "fish restaurant" and "walleye" in "search nearby".

Edit: full disclosure, I'm a vegetarian that's never eater in this establishment. Just trying to be helpful.

I've had some excellent fish at FireLake- eg crimson trout.
