Big Fish Seafood Bistro

Molly Abraham: The former Chuck Muer restaurants, now part of Landry's Restaurants, Inc., have bright, open settings and a menu of fresh fish and seafood that may be prepared in many styles, from chargrilled and blackened to broiled, sauteed or deep-fried, with usually eight to 10 fresh catch selections. Currently these include walleye, salmon and perch, among others. Crab-stuffed sole, jambalaya, and tower of shrimp - a combination of shrimp brochette, cocktail shrimp and buffalo shrimp - are hot sellers. Service is friendly and informal, just like the atmosphere. The Dearborn entity has been racheted up a bit with a redo that softened the feeling with vivid blues and greens, art glass and paintings. The patio is attractive with its camel-colored market umbrellas and new tables and chairs.
