The Best Seafood Restaurants in Los Angeles | Eater LA

"Though Providence chef Michael Cimarusti opened Connie & Ted’s, it’s chef Sam Baxter who shapes the menu at this classic New England-style restaurant. The seafood is still top-tier with oysters, fish and chips, three types of clam chowder, a Maine lobster roll, grilled fish, and a very beefy cheeseburger. While sitting on the outdoor patio, pay attention to the weekly specials like the Wednesday bouillabaisse night, savory Gumbo on Fridays, or a platter of buttermilk fried chicken on Sundays paired with pickles and Parker house rolls. The house mix for Bloody Marys (or Marias) is one of the best in LA." - Mona Holmes
