Fine Oysters, Lobster at St. Paul Fish Co.
Short Orders
The St. Paul Fish
Co. (400 N. Water St.,
inside the Milwaukee Public Market) combines a retail operation with table
service and an oyster bar named Karen Jean’s. The oysters are always fine and
the selection changes frequently. The well-known live Maine lobster special, served every day,
includes a whole steamed lobster for just $12.95. A lobster roll was recently
added at the same price. The rule for a good New England
lobster roll: “Keep it simple.” The roll is little more than a glorified
hot-dog bun, while chunks of lobster meat in mayonnaise come with bits of
celery and scallion. The menu is large enough, but it is also possible to order
items that are not listed. For example, during a recent weekday lunch, a family
enjoyed a feast of king crab legs. The St. Paul Fish Co. aims to please its
customers.
