Goodrich Seafood and Oyster House, Oak Hill

I tried this seafood restaurant on the Mosquito Lagoon (in between Mims and New Smyrna) for lunch on Friday. I had the grilled combo plate for $21. It consisted of bay scallops, oysters, mahi, shrimp and a crab cake with two sides. The scallops were the best. A cup full. Sweet. The oysters (4) were small. The fish looked fresh, but, had a consistency like wet sand. The shrimp (5) had no taste. The crab cake was very crab filled and moist. It was more towards under cooked. I tried tasteless, congealed cheese grits (needed more salt and cheese) and starch dipped french fries as sides. Obviously I didn't like or need (full) either. They also threw in a cup of fish soup. The real draw here is the view. The building and furnishings are unspectacular. They have an outdoor deck that seats about fifty. Inside seats about the same. It was half full. They have been around since 1971. You have to turn off US 1 at the flea market. I'm not sure it's worth the trip, but, if you are already out there? Perhaps. The problem is Florida seafood restaurants usually are the problem. They always seem to do something (or everything) that detracts from the natural goodness of the sea and the beautiful environment that surrounds them. These guys had fargin Swai on the menu! This is a market segment that needs to improve - alot.
