Captain Fishbone's

WENDY AND TOM DINE OUT

Marina Bay is one of our favorite destinations! The restaurants here afford us a great view of the boats in the marina. We chose to eat outdoors this time since the weather was so pleasant. The decor is "modern porch" with its white plastic tables and dark blue plastic chairs. In spite of the plastic, it works well. The patio is attractive and carries out the blue and white nautical theme. Heaters are overhead to create some warmth on colder days. One drawback of this entire area is that it is below the flight path to Logan. Planes fly over low enough to be easily heard if dining outdoors. The restaurant has a fun web page that tells it all:

RESTAURANT:

CAPTAIN FISHBONES

DATE:

MEAL:

Dinner

DECOR:

BREAD:

SALAD:

APPETIZER:

Asparagus ($2.99) Perfectly cooked with tasteless oil (butter?) on the side

ENTREE:

Chopped Salad ($9.99) Bland but good - Blue cheese, tomatoes, black olives, asparagus, cucumber, red onion and celery. There were supposed to be bacon bits served on the side but they were not delivered and Wendy forgot to ask for them. They might have added a bit to the salad. This interesting presentation comes on an oval plate with each of the items chopped separately and placed in a mound around the plate. The blue cheese dressing selected did not have much flavor. The blue cheese in the salad, however, was very flavorful. We don't know how they could have made this more interesting considering all the ingredients are bland.

Fisherman's Platter ($14.99) "Shrimp, scallops and sole lightly breaded and fried to a golden brown. Served with tartar sauce and a wedge of lemon." Nicely done. Because this dish does not come with the usual load of French fries, it looked like a small portion. Actually it did have less seafood than many other restaurants we have eaten at. The seafood was cooked in a light batter and the fish was of a nice quality. Excellent Cole slaw.
