Greetings from Blogsters! Today we bring you to an Asian inspired urban seafood joint in downtown Toronto- Fresh Off The Boat !

Having done a bit of research before going, we learned that the Softshell Crab Burger is a must-try. We also ordered the Lobster Roll and the Grilled Swordfish.

Softshell Crab Burger
Janet's personal favorite
Initially what attracted us to the restaurant, this unique crabby burger looks so cute with legs sticking out in every directions. The soft shell crab was juicy and moist on the inside, and crunchy and crispy on the outside.  Served with fries and coleslaw, the deep fried soft shell crab burger meal was a good portion.

Lobster Roll
Joyce's personal favorite
Lobster salad served on a warm buttery bun with fries and coleslaw on the side. Although the lobster roll itself is a very small portion, it is packed with A LOT of lobster meat. The bun is slightly toasted on the outside and soft on the inside. The texture of the lobster is tender and fresh with just the right amount of seasoning and a rich buttery flavor. This reminded Janet of the Mc.Lobster she had earlier in PEI McDonalds with a better bun.

Grilled Swordfish 
(No longer on the menu)
We wanted to order a fish dish but did not want something deep fried in the morning so we decided to go with the grilled swordfish. Seasoned with a sweet and sour sauce, it tasted a little too fishy for our liking. We have to admit the grilled swordfish was a little disappointing.


In general, FOTB is a nice restaurant if you are on the go.  Since seating is limited, you might be sharing a table with someone else.  The restaurant is full of marine decorations from lanterns, to ropes, to a floor-to-ceiling shelf filled with Sriracha bottles - certainly alot of things to look at while you are waiting for your food!
