- Fish and Chips
943 calories
A thick batter and oil that's slightly too cool will cause whatever's being fried to soak up oil—and fat and calories—like a sponge. Split one order among a group, and order a healthier appetizer to fill you up. - Fish and Shellfish Platters
1,194 calories
In addition to thickly coated, deep-fried seafood, you're getting fried starches, slaw, sauce, melted butter, and maybe a biscuit or two. It's obviously (and deliciously) true: Go for grilled instead.
ASK YOUR SERVER
- Mixed Grill
667 calories
Mixed grills generally offer several types of grilled seafood; the calorie and fat savings help mitigate the cup of slaw and fries. Still, start with a healthy salad, and split this entrée. - Crab Cakes
492 calories
These may be a lower-calorie choice, but there's probably more saturated fat from the mayo in the filling and butter in which they're cooked than you need. That's OK for an occasional treat, though.
HEALTHY CHOICE
- Cup of Clam Chowder
262 calories
Contrary to popular belief, most restaurants make chowder with milk and flour, not cream. (Confirm that with your server.) It's hearty and filling, so by all means have a cup to start. - Blackened (or Grilled) Fish
367 calories
Blackened fish is usually cooked with very little, if any, fat. If spicy heat doesn't light your fire, go for the grilled version, and appreciate the inherently sweet, delicate flavor of the fish.
