Chick’s Seafood
230 Trumbull St
Elizabeth NJ
Cute little Portuguese Place.. I guess its pretty well known in Elizabeth.. It has changed owners a few times in the last couple of years but it still remains good.. I was sitting next to this guy in Las Vegas once at a Black Jack Table.. He was like, you work in Elizabeth, have you ever been to Chick’s Seafood.. I guess this place and a local strip club are high on the “things” to see list for truck drivers coming to the area..
They have a regular menu, but I find the specials come out more quickly…
We started with shrimp and garlic from the regular menu.. Garlic, wine, oil, shrimp, lemon and a couple shots of red pepper.. Whats not to love..
From the Specials..
Perfectly char grilled Sea Bass..
The Special Pork and clams with fried potatoes, and pickled vegetables.. This dish was just superb, the pork, clams and fried potatoes, were hanging out in this garlic stock, and the pickled vegetables cut through really nicely..
Flan was a little grainy.. But good
Cortado like drink.. Maybe they call it cortado too.. Steamed milk and espresso.. Really milky and frothy.. A drink like this and I am ready for a nap..
Grilled Squid for me please! : ) Wow, lunch looks amazing, but I think if I was apart of it… I would need a nap afterwards! LOL!
Yes, not the best choice for someone looking to be productive for the rest of the day.
