Oliver’s Restaurant | St. John’s Must-Try Seafood Spot

🐟 Oliver’s Restaurant | St. John’s Must-Try Seafood Spot 📍 First Impressions A cozy nautical-themed bistro where even the salt shakers look like miniature fishing buoys: • Vibe: Dark wood + antique harpoons on walls • Soundtrack: Fiddle music mixed with seagull squawks (open windows) • Smell: Brown butter + ocean breeze Pro Tip: Book the "Lobster Trap Booth" – best harbor views 🍽️ Dish-by-Dish Breakdown 1. Cod Tongues ($14.99) 👅 • Texture: Crisp panko crust → gelatinous center • Dip: Tartar sauce with pickled sea asparagus • Local Fact: These aren’t actual tongues – they’re throat muscles! 2. Fisherman’s Platter ($32.99) 🦐 • Includes: • Scallops (seared, not rubbery) • Salt cod cakes (flaky, not dry) • Squid rings (tempura-light) • Sides: House slaw + dill potato salad 3. Partridgeberry Pie ($9.50) 🥧 • Filling: Newfoundland’s wild lingonberries • Crust: Lard-based (flaky AF) • Pair With: Screech rum cream (+$3) 📊 Why It Stands Out Feature Oliver’s Average SJ Seafood Spot Cod Freshness Day-boat caught Frozen imports Portions Shareable Skimpy Desserts Homemade Sysco frozen Winner: Zero pretension, maximum flavor 💡 Insider Tips 1. Timing: • 5-6pm: Sunset over harbor + early-bird pricing • Avoid Saturdays – tourist rush 2. Secret Orders: • "Extra crispy" cod tongues • "Grandma’s chowder" (off-menu) 3. Parking: Free on Water St after 6pm Regret: Not trying the seal flipper pie (next time!) NewfoundlandEats #SeafoodLover #EastCoastCanada
