McCormick & Schmick's is a chain seafood restaurant. The menu at this restaurant changes daily depending on what they have in stock and the shipment of seafood they receive. The Chef decides the menu for the day. If you take a look at the menu, there will be a date stamp on the menu on the top with the listing of fresh seafood they have available for the day. Then only below that, they have the dishes that the Chef will be preparing for the day. Below are some of the dishes that were ordered during the last visit.

Small Oyster Sampler

Fried Calamari

Yellowfin Tuna Burger

Pan Fried Oysters with Fries

Broiled Seafood Platter

Miso Barramund

Seared Halibut

Super Sundae

Cost:
Soup $5 to $7
Salad $11 to $20
Appertizers - $8 to $25
Main Entrees - $10 to $40

Suggestion:
Since the seafood here is so fresh, I would suggest trying their oysters. They usually have a few types of oysters that is from around the US. Also worth trying is their fried calamari as it is crispy outside but the squid is never overcooked or dry. It comes with three different dipping sauces. As for the main meal, just look at the selection of seafood they have available for the day. Whatever that strikes you the most, that should be the dish you should order. Just be adventurous.
