There is something about Phil\u2019s Fish Market that just makes you want to come back for more. If I lived close by, I would make Phil\u2019s a staple in my weekly food routine. Phil\u2019s Fish Market is an institution.<\/p>\n

When you first walk in, there is a line that goes out the door. After ordering your food at the counter and finding your table, you will be amazed with what happens next. The fish is so fresh; it is as if it comes straight from the ocean and right onto your plate. Every dish that I tried was astounding, I just can\u2019t say enough about Phil\u2019s Fish Market. This tasting is by far my favorite that I have had in a while. And by the way, the line was out the door for the whole 2 hours that I dined.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what I tried:<\/p>\n

Appetizers:<\/p>\n

Steamed Clams & Garlic Bread- Steamed with Tomatoes, Green Onions, Garlic, Thyme, White Wine, and Butter. These clams are not small, and the broth alone is worth ordering these delicious gems.<\/p>\n

Miyagi-oysters raw- these oysters are so big, but packed with freshness; I loved these oysters.<\/p>\n

Saut\u00e9ed Champagne Oysters- 4 Pacific Oysters saut\u00e9ed in Butter & Champagne with Shallots. I prefer raw over these cooked ones.<\/p>\n

Artichoke- Grilled with aioli sauce. This is a very simple preparation, but really delicious.<\/p>\n

Clam Chowder- New England White and Manhattan Red. The New England white was my favorite: a nice buttery and creamy soup with lots of clams.<\/p>\n

House Specials:<\/p>\n

Blackened Sea Scallops- With Lemon Butter, topped with Capers. The scallops are small but they serve a lot in one bowl. The blackened part of this dish is very yummy.<\/p>\n

Cioppino- Served in a bowl with Green Salad and Garlic Bread. This is what they are famous for. I loved the crab in the cioppino; you can taste how fresh it is.<\/p>\n

Halibut- Breaded and grilled served with green salad, garlic bread, and your choice of fries or rice. The fresh halibut is the perfect fish, and the accompaniments are also terrific.<\/p>\n

Hot Sandwiches:<\/p>\n

Lobster Roll- Lobster meat saut\u00e9ed in Garlic Butter, served on a New England Hot Dog Bun with Fries & Coleslaw. They put so much lobster in this sandwich. I saved this sandwich and ate it at the airport the next day; I felt so privileged to be eating a lobster sandwich at the San Jose airport.<\/p>\n

Wine:<\/p>\n

Hahn Chardonnay – Nicky Hahn – Monterey Chardonnay 2013. Everything went great with this wine; it is simple and easy to drink.<\/p>\n

They also sent me home with some nice smoked salmon, which I took home on the plane with me and enjoyed it for days to come.<\/p>\n

The staff was very eager to tend to my every need, and there were plenty of them. I would venture to say that the turn over is minimal, because all of the servers and counter workers have smiles on their faces. They are just so busy that I can\u2019t imagine these workers not earning a nice living at Phil\u2019s Fish House.<\/p>\n

Part of your trip to Moss Landing has to include a stop to Phil\u2019s Fish Market. If it\u2019s not part of your itinerary, you\u2019re missing out.<\/p>\n
