Ottawa's Hidden Seafood Gem 😘 You CAN'T Miss This!
🍴 The Seafood Grill 📍 1480 Merivale Rd, Nepean, ON K2E 6Z5 ⚠️ WARNING: Their seafood pasta is LIFE-CHANGING. How did I not discover this place sooner?! 🏮 The Vibe Cozy but cramped (mostly two-seaters) Gets packed by 6PM—arrive early! Only 2 servers + slow kitchen (but worth the wait!) Bonus: Adjacent seafood market = ultra-fresh ingredients 🦑 What We Devoured Calamari Rings ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pros: Huge portion, fresh squid Cons: Soggy batter, oily after a few bites Fish & Chips ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fish Options: Cod (firm) Halibut (juicier) Verdict: Crispy batter, fresh fish, but slightly overcooked that day MVP: THICC hand-cut fries (fluffy inside!) SEAFOOD PASTA ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (MUST ORDER!) Scallops: Perfectly tender (sous-vide?) Mussels & Clams: Sweet, briny perfection Shrimp: Plump and bouncy Sauce: Rich but light—pure oceanic umami Final Boss Mode: No flaws. Just pure bliss. 💰 Damage: $90.40 (pre-tip) 🏆 Overall: 8/10 Why You’ll Love It: ✔️ Insane portions = great value ✔️ Freshness guaranteed (thanks to their market) ✔️ Already planning my next visit for the risotto & seafood stew! #OttawaSeafood #FoodieHeaven #BestPastaInTown
