"Sometimes the appeal of seafood is less about the fish and more about not having to cook it yourself. Although there are plenty of must-try seafood recipes worth attempting, it's also nice to venture out for your favorite dish when you don't feel like cooking at home. Whether you're in the mood for a quick and easy fast food meal or you want to experience a higher-end restaurant, there's a great seafood chain out there for you."
"We looked at seafood chains with at least 15 locations across the United States and created a list of side dishes you have to try on your next visit. We chose our sides based on positive online reviews, specifically those that mentioned the flavor and highlighted the item as one of the chain's standout dishes. Where possible, we also took into account our own experiences dining at these chains. Who knows? You might find something that tastes even better than your lobster tail."
"Red Lobster isn't necessarily the kind of place you visit when you're craving some tasty vegetables. While the Cheddar Bay biscuits are typically lauded as Red Lobster's best dish, it turns out that the popular seafood chain also has a reputation for serving excellent Brussels sprouts. In a Mashed ranking of Red Lobster's sides, this dish took the top spot, thanks to vegetables' extra-crispy exterior and the flavorful sweet-and-salty glaze that elevates what would otherwise be basic roasted Brussels sprouts."
A selection of U.S. seafood chains highlights side dishes that can elevate meals and occasionally outshine entrees. The selection focused on chains with at least 15 locations and prioritized items receiving positive online reviews that specifically mentioned flavor and standout status. Personal dining experiences were included when possible. Several chains offer memorable sides across price points, from fast food to higher-end restaurants. Red Lobster's Crispy Brussels sprouts earned praise for an extra-crispy exterior, a flavorful sweet-and-salty glaze, and a crunchy onion topping. Some diners speculate the sprouts are deep-fried, and recipe developers have attempted to recreate them.
