On my eighth restaurant experience I ended up going to Walker’s Fish Market located at 2575 Dundas Street West in Mississauga. I was out with some friends and we all wanted to get some seafood. None of us had ever tried Walker’s Fish Market before and were excited to give it a try.
We were greeted at the door by some friendly hostesses who brought us over to a nice table near their beautiful fireplace. I really liked the atmosphere as it reminded me of the restaurants you find near the east coast. It was very bright inside and had sail boats and pictures all over the place.
We got the Appetizer Platter for the table. It consisted of a sampling of Walker’s specialise which are their baked brushetta, salt & pepper calamari, dynamite shrimp and blue crab cakes with all the accompaniments. The baked bruschetta is marinated tomatoes baked on foccacia bread with mozzarella and asiago cheese finished with an olive basil pesto. The salt & pepper calamari is crispy fried sea salt & pepper baby squid with spiced chili, pommery mustard sauce and fresh lemon. The dynamite shrimp is crispy fried baby shrimp tossed with sweet and spicy sauce with chopped romaine and green onions, which was definitely my favorite of the platter. Then there is the blue crab cakes which are crispy fried crab cakes with charred corn arugula salad, sweet red onions and hot and sour roasted red pepper puree. The platter offers a great variety of appetizers as you can try all of their best ones.
By time the entrees came out we were all still pretty hungry. For my main course I got the Lobster & Mushroom Mac & Cheese. It consists of buttery lobster meat, caramelized onions, garlic and wild mushrooms baked with aged cheddar, Parmesan and goat cheese cream sauce. It was good, not the best lobster mac and cheese but it was still pretty tasty.
Walker’s Fish Market is worth the try and I will definitely be going back for the Dynamite Shrimp!
