Best Seafood: Salmon Dave’s

There’s something here for every pescetarian who appreciates a grandly presented display of premium-grade picks from the ocean. The Chilled Seafood Tower is essentially a raw bar delivered to your table. “It’s great for sharing, and it’s a little bit of everything for your guests,” says General Manager Carolyn Miller. 

Taking apart the tower, you land on six Blue Point oysters, a half-dozen Gulf shrimp, Ahi tuna poke and blue crab cocktail with avocado and Dijon mustard aioli served with saltines for spreading. 

“Our Blue Point oysters are the star of the Chesapeake Bay, and the Ahi tuna is top-level sashimi trade, served raw,” Miller describes. 

With a generous side of mignonette and Bloody Mary cocktail sauce, the dish begs for dipping.
