Don's Dock Seafood Market & Restaurant

The Johnson family has been catching and cooking up fresh seafood for Chicagoans since the 1930's and the market/restaurant was established in 1951 - that's a lot of clams. The third generation is turning out terrific fried and grilled seafood; lush lobster rolls; seafood tacos; warm, comforting chowders and jambalaya; fresh salads; crab cakes and smoked items. Seafood arrives daily and fried fish is hand breaded every day. The diverse menu offers Creole, Caribbean, Scandinavian and Southwestern styles as well as American favorites like beer battered cod, fried Lake Perch and jumbo shrimp. Carry out or dine in and B.Y.O.B. - Don's supplies wine glasses, cork screws and frosted beer mugs. Check the menu for monthly specials: for example, the entire month of June is a shrimp fest offering everything from shrimp fettuccine Alfredo to a shrimp po' boy with homemade Remoulade sauce. It's also a market so you can purchase fresh seafood to prepare at home and Don's offers holiday recipes and appetizers around Christmas, New Year's and Lent.
