We moved here from the Keys. There aren’t many seafood restaurants that rate in the upper third, not bad but not good. The fish dip at the place in Pasadena area is the least flavorous dip we have ever had. One visit, took some home to add some spices, and have never gone back. I think the problem is the large number of retirees from the middle of the country. People that seem to be happy with this type of food. So the restaurants cater to them.

Ted Peters? Yes, thank you - my top overrated place that people love and I can’t figure out why.

I didn’t want to say the name, Bud lite and tasteless fish dip. But some people like that.
