The Original Fish Market

The Original Fish Market located in the bottom of the Westin has a menu full of seafood and meat.  Each item has its own preparation.  Each dish was on the more expensive side of dining. So for nice night out on the town, this is a reasonable price point, although for just a casual dining experience, I'd say this is a little expensive.

I was torn between the mixed seafood grill, with shrimp, scallops, rice, and halibut and the swordfish with a caper red wine reduction on whipped potatoes and asparagus. The server told me both options were gluten free.  The halibut won.

When it arrived, it was a little hard to believe the sauce was gluten free. It was dark and think with a semi sweet aroma.  The asparagus was crispy. The potatoes were creamy with garlic and a green tint to them. I'm not exactly sure why.  Maybe they had spinach mixed in or something.  Regardless, it didn't effect the taste at all. 

The sauce on the halibut was reminiscent of a beef gravy.  Probably because of the red wine that is used more in beef dishes.  It was sweet with a hint of spice. It was delicious.  I didn't have any problems with this dish - it must have been gluten free as described.  

My companion had the jerk salmon, medium, with beans and rice.  He said the entire meal was delicious and spicy.  I would hope jerk salmon would be spicy.  Both presentations were beautiful.
