I'm visting Philly next weekend and need some restaurant help...

Looking for a restaurant that is asian and/or seafood

already considered: Morimoto, Buddakan, Striped Bass.

Other suggestions? can be low, medium, or high brow...but bottom line good!

Thanks

For oysters and clams (live or fried), snapper soup (a rarely found classic served with a splash of sherry) and good basic seafood and finfish, Sansom Street Oyster House. Moderately priced, one of the last of the surviving classic fish houses., Even if it is only 20 or so years old, it's heritage goes back more than a century. Particularly good deals at Happy Hour (L.I. Bluepoints for a buck apiece, though lots of other oysters, East, Gulf and West Coast, priced up to $2.50, iirc.)

Don't tell me that it can trace its heritage to Kelly's of Mole Street?

That's like Wachovia stating that it is the oldest commercial bank in the United States. (It doesn't, but it could after it acquired CoreStates, which had previously swallowed First Pennsylvania Bank, which in 1929 had acquired the Bank of North America, in business since 1782.)

If you have a car, take 95 north to the Betsy Ross Bridge, go North on Rt 130 about a mile and try Fuji. If you can give advance notice, call and reserve the Kaiseki (8 course) dinner. A bargain at $65.00, though you can get fancy for more (still a bargain).

(edit) 65 per person, btw
