The Seafood Joint Market Grill

Unfortunately, as I drove by yesterday, I noticed a sign on the door indicating that the restaurant is permanently closed. I took a quick look inside, and it appears to be emptied out. The Seafood Joint at 217 Avenida Madera and its neighbor, Sub Zero Nitrogen Ice Cream at 219 Avenida Madera, have both closed for good. According to the Davidson family, the landlords of the building that houses these businesses, their leases were not renewed as of September 1, and neither business sought other leasing options.

This restaurant offers fresh local fish in a quaint setting that avoids the upscale frills. The waitress was friendly and engaging, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. Sitting just a short distance from the crab steamer really whets your appetite as the aroma of freshly cooked crabs fills the air. The hushpuppies were served piping hot and I couldn’t resist popping them into my mouth right away. The blackened triple tail, scallops, and shrimp were all excellent choices. The straightforward, affordable dining area combined with high-quality seafood and appealing presentation makes for a great value. The only drawbacks were a wobbly table and the calamari appetizer, which had a slightly freezer-burned taste.
