Chin’s 34th street fishery – food
Posted: October 30, 2013 Filed under: Chicago, food, travel | Tags: chicagoland, chins 34th street fishery, food, seafood, travel 16 CommentsIf you don’t mind eating from plastic plates or your chowder in a plastic bowl ( but I admit it’s a bright color ), but you care about seafood, then Chin’s is a great place.
If you don’t mind bread rolls slathered in oil with big pieces of garlic on top, then you might find Chin’s fun.
I like it, but of course I don’t mind my drinking water in a throwaway glass, but I was thrilled my beer came with a glass tumbler.
A step down? Not at all – my favorite place for fish in Chicagoland.
clam chowder and heavily laden garlic rolls
When the texture of the potatoes is just right, the chowder is pure delight !
Then two en trays to share, blackened halibut, and crab legs. Like the old quote from the Japanese anime “Full Metal Alchemist”, these two courses allowed Jan and I “equivalent exchange”
blackened halibut fresh from Alaska
delicious crab legs
Yum! We should go there!
Another great meal! (ps. I like all your poetry!)
Hi Resa – I do enjoy the table, and I like to try different things, as long as eyes are excluded 🙂 – PS ( I’m glad )

I pressed the like button because I love how you support your local eateries! Not because of the seafood. Would you believe I don’t eat fish or seafood? It totally grosses me out! I know I know, people always look at me as if I’m insane when I admit that!
do you like beer, I just went to a local micro-brewery tap-room where the beer was divine…. and the brewery was named “Solemn Oath” ….. seriously
Yes I love beer! I’m not continually drinking it, just so you know. 😉 Love the name of that brewery!
stay tuned…. 🙂
too bad about the fish though… when I was a boy my mom was Catholic, and my dad was, well he was my dad. Every Friday we had fish, and my dad always complained. Many years later I found out my dad loved fish, and my mom didn’t care for it. Go figure. I always thought it was the other way around.
haha that’s funny! Maybe Mom, not liking it anyway, didn’t prepare the fish to Dad’s liking?
na – it was always pan fried – and pretty good, but it was the imperative that soured the taste…. sigh
oh – I forgot to say — check out those garlic rolls — you could eat those 🙂
Yeah that I could do!
safe from all vampires on halloween 🙂
I scare the crap outta dem with or without garlic! 😉
I’m in for the crab legs!
I love seafood and reckon we have some of the best seafood – price vs quality – in the world. Seafood buffets are big business in Singapore.
