The Best Seafood in Portland

"SE 82nd gets most of the attention, but the stretch just a few blocks west on Powell Boulevard houses some true gems, including this traditional Cantonese seafood hall. Powell’s Seafood Restaurant boasts an expansive menu of generously portioned Cantonese dishes like walnut prawns, clams in black bean sauce, boiled conch, and shrimp in umami-packed Maggi sauce, each rich with smoky, caramelized wok-seared flavor. For those in the party less partial to fruits of the sea, the restaurant offers an array of chicken, beef, and vegetarian entrees as well. Drinks include modest wine and beer options, along with a few soft drinks." - Nathan Williams, Jenni Moore
