Carolyn invited Minetta and me to her favorite cafe for lobster rolls – Sea Breeze Fish Market and Grill.  It is located in the same shopping center as Weir’s Furniture on Preston Road in Plano. (Near Spring Creek)

Now, Carolyn once lived in New Hampshire, and she knows and loves sea food.  When she read that Sea Breeze lobster rolls were “the best in Dallas”, she had to try them.  She liked them.  She loved them, and she has been coming to Sea Breeze for lobster rolls for some time now.  Carolyn thought Lanabird.com should know about Sea Breeze, and she planned the outing for us.  I jumped at the chance.  Yes, I like to eat at new to me restaurants, and I like seafood.   But… Another important factor in my excitement over our excursion was – I never want to miss a chance to be with Minetta and Carolyn.  We always have so much fun.  As former educators, we have many interest in common.  They are intelligent down-to-earth women.  I am blessed to have them as friends.

The decor inside Sea Breeze is casual and reminds me of a sea coast eatery.  It was comfortable.

The lobster roll is considered their signature dish, and it was delicious. The main ingredient was lobster.  Even though the menu called the filling “lobster salad”, I was amazed at how much fresh tasting buttery lobster filled this roll.  Yummy!  I think the roll is imported from New England.  It reminded me of white bread.  The outside of the bun was grilled in butter and spices, and it was wonderful.  I would certainly buy a Sea Breeze lobster roll again.

A choice of two sides was included with the lobster roll.  We all took Carolyn’s recommendation and ordered coleslaw and grilled potato salad.  The dressing on the coleslaw was light and the flavor was not strong.  I liked it.  For some reason, I expected the grilled potato salad to be a hot potato salad.  This potato salad was cold and also had very little dressing on it.  It was good, but maybe it would not be my favorite.  A couple of hush puppies garnished the plate, and they were very good.

Perhaps it is telling that “Fish Market” is listed first in the title of the restaurant.  One side of the restaurant is devoted to a fish market that sells fresh seafood.  The claim is that the seafood is flown in daily, and is never frozen.DSC_0309

Since my knowledge of seafood is limited, I was intrigued by the different types of fish offered for sale.

Look at the different types of clams, and the large shrimp.

Not only can you buy fresh seafood at Sea Breeze, they also sell take out items.

I would like to try the smoked salmon deviled eggs.]

Tortillia coated tilapia would make a good dinner.

Smoked salmon is also for sale.

One reviewer gave the smoked salmon dip high praise.  It is also on my must try list.

It is hard to believe that I have gone to Weir’s in Lakeside Marketplace many many times, and I did not know about Sea Breeze Fish Market and Grill.  The lobster roll was so delicious, it might be hard to order anything else.

Blessings to you and yours,

The restaurant and market did not smell fishy.  From what I hear, that is a sign of a good seafood market.

Thank you Carolyn for introducing me to this gem.  I will go back.
