Don's Dock Seafood

Excellent for takeout. If you knew the old "Fish Keg Restaurant" in northern Chicago in the 1970s, you'll love this place!!  It's very much what the Fish Keg used to be before it was sold and they changed all the recipes.  The fried shrimp is wonderful.  Unfortunately scallops are available only during lent and at holiday times.  If they have the Maine (or Maryland?) crabcakes available when you are there in the refrigerator case to take home and cook yourself, do not pass them up!!

Listen: Apparently rumor had it there were fresh crawdads here! Dove in seconds before closing, so no craw on the night we came, but none the less, we did score some delicious halibut and a perfect flank of salmon! Flaky, buttery morsels, topped with light crumbs and a pleasant waitstaff schooling us on prime cuts of fish and the best take home options for seafood! If only they weren't such a long plane ride from NYC! Great for locals according to those we came with!

Tried tonight for the first time. Everything was great: fish chips, crab cakes, popcorn shrimp, hush puppies. Even the fries were really good. And the staff was seriously the friendliest I have seen in a long time. They clearly appreciate their customers. Glad it's nearby. I'll be back.
