    My Wife and I had dinner at the Fisherman tonight. She ordered her favorite stuffed shrimp and I had the Friday special of Monkfish with rice and shrimp and clams. My dish was incredible it was absolutely delicious. I hope the Fisherman adds that dish to the regular menu. Also my Wife absolutely loved her Stuffed Shrimp and of course the dessert we selected really finished a great dinner. We highly recommend the Portuguese Fisherman when looking for a great night out.
