Heavy on the plantation blinds, cabana furniture, and deep-chocolate leather, the decor at this chain suggests Tommy Bahama. The menu continues the island motif, focusing on seafood that is seasoned, sauced, and garnished to the hilt—often to delicious effect. Nearly every passing server is carrying a Bang Bang Shrimp order, a respectable starter featuring crispy fried seafood dressed in a Read more...

The tidy, well-stocked counters at this colorful market owned by father-and-son duo Nick and Andrew Caplinger (who operated the 56th Street Fish Market for more than a decade) offer one of the city’s widest selections of fresh seafood and shellfish—even Indiana perch and a tank of fresh, Indiana-farmed shrimp.

Customers order via paper checklists at this counter-service spot that specializes in DIY poke creations. The Hawaiian diced-fish sensation is served by the rice bowl, salad, and “burrito” (more like a giant piece of nori-wrapped sushi) in the former Hoaglin To Go location. It’s a tight fit for a few booths and standing tables, so leave your to-go options open. Read more...

Perennially packed since Shari Jenkins opened it on a quaint Zionsville side street in 2008, this eclectic surf-and-turf spot got some extra breathing room after moving to the Carter Building on Main Street. For starters, a somewhat edited sushi list is solid, but even better bets are super-fresh oysters and savory short-rib wontons. Entrées range from classic fish and chips Read more...

Follow the IUPUI students to this delightfully fresh fast-food spot just off campus. The scooped-to-order poke bowls have a rice base (sticky or brown) over which customers layer the Hawaiian raw-fish poke and a rainbow of add-ons. Fresh mango, edamame, avocado, pickled ginger, seaweed salad, and unagi sauce are just a few of the available toppings. Go crazy ladling them Read more...
