Saybrook Fish House

The Saybrook Fish House is a seafood restaurant in Rocky Hill, CT, which is south of Hartford. The web site is goofy, but the food is good. I'm going to skip over the entrees and talk about the unique things the restaurant offers.

First, a large salad is brought out for diners, and two house-special salad dressings are offered. The key, according to the people I went to dinner with, is to mix both salad dressings. I was skeptical at first. But after trying it, I realized mixing the dressings really brought out wonderful flavors.

Second, a fruit basket is served at the end of the meal, consisting of slices of watermelon, cantalopue, honeydew, grapes and whole nuts in the shell is provided at the end of the meal. Again, quite tasty.

Finally, hot, moist towels scented with vanilla extract are provided after the fruit basket. I've had a moist, hot towel before, but never scented with vanilla extract. It's a memorable experience.

If you are interested in seafood and want to try something new, give the Saybrook Fish House a try.
