A Walk on the Plank

Scott's Seafood Landing
by Robert Bledsoe

I don't fish mainly because I don't like to eat fish. Think about it: would you work in an automobile factory for zero pay if you didn't even drive cars? That's the way I think about it: no pay, no work.

So anyway, I went to this seafood place in Corona called TB Scott's Seafood Landing and, before going, I was less than thrilled. But I do like shrimp and must admit I was pleasantly surprised with the place.

I started with the clam chowder ($2.95). They have it in white and red, depending on what color your tie is. Actually, white is from Boston and red is from Manhattan. Both were good, but the white was great. The chowder went very well with the fish and chips ($7.95). Although I certainly wouldn't recommend going out of your way to get the fish and chips, they were good; it's hard to screw them up.

Then the shrimp bonanza began. A large shrimp cocktail was had ($7.95), followed by stuffed shrimp ($14.95), which was seasoned with crab meat and cheese stuffing, all topped with hollandaise sauce. Needless to say, it ranked high on my cardiometer food scale (I believe eating should be like a roller coaster: the more dangerous, the better.) Then we had the eastern curry "Bombay style" ($11.95). This was nothing short of excellent. It was shrimp and crab meat blended with Major Grey's Chutney, shredded coconut and sliced almonds.

The only problem with ordering shrimp is that the cost is so high, but you invariably don't get all that much. It's not like ordering steak, you know.

If seafood is your thing, I would definitely check out TB Scott's Seafood Landing, located right off the 91 freeway at Lincoln. You can't miss it.

The address is 103 N. Lincoln Ave., Corona. For reservations, call (909) 340-FISH [340-3474].
