It was back in November, 2011 that Phillips Seafood Baltimore
restaurant moved after 30 years from the Inner Harbor a bit east on Pratt
Street to the Power Plant in a prestigious corner location which can’t be
missed with its 17 foot tall Phillips sign. The new location has a richer feel with well-polished wood, mosaic
tile floors, and a plush anteroom, piano
bar, oversized models of Baltimore’s historic ships the Constellation and Pride
of Baltimore II, and numerous photographs reflecting the history of the
Phillips family that adorn the walls.
Phillips Seafood in 2014 celebrated 100 years from their
early start on Hoopers Island, where A. E. Phillips & Son was a processing
plant for wild oysters, crabs and fish from the Chesapeake Bay and local
waterways. It was the surplus catches
that were the inspiration for the first Phillips Seafood Restaurant and now
Phillips has grown with numerous seafood processing plants, restaurants along
with their seafood for the food service industry and retail line for grocery
stores.
It was back in February when I was invited to come in as Phillips
Seafood’s guest for a meal. With a turn of events with my husband in the
hospital, our lunch was delayed.
Phillips Seafood was most accommodating with the husband’s new dietary
restrictions, low sodium and limited dark greens. Staffing was very communicative
and adaptations were easy; a special salad with iceberg lettuce and low sodium
dressing and the Simple Fish – Catch of the Day/ Swordfish with the lemon chive
butter and steamed vegetables filled the husband’s tummy.
