Grannan's Seafood

Went here as a party of 5 on my birthday. We ordered 3 seafood buckets and 1 seafood chowder. The chowder was delicious, probably the best thing on the table in my opinion. However, the seafood buckets. Oh boy. The mussels were incredibly sandy, almost as if they weren't cleaned properly, I did not finish mine as 4/5 of the ones I ate had a lot of grit in them. The shrimp and corn were the best parts. Corn was sweet and juicy, shrimp were tender and big. Snow crab was dry and chewy, it did taste sweet though. The crawfish however. I asked for extra crawfish because I was expecting sweet, tender meat. What I got was overcooked, expired tasting crawfish. The last tail I tried to eat almost made me gag, it was incredibly foul. The potatos were well cooked but for some reason, they were ALSO sandy like the mussels. The thing that really put the cherry on the cake though, was that the melted "butter" to dip your seafood in was MARGARINE. I expect that when I go to a seafood place and pay $52 plus tax and tip, that the butter IS REAL. It was definitely margarine and ruined the taste of the seafood when dipped in. 2 stars instead of 1 because the seafood chowder was very good and our server was INCREDIBLY NICE!!!!!!! I've read other reviews about this place supposedly going downhill and, although I have only been there once (and my last), I agree with this statement. I hope this helps when deciding where to get your seafood in Saint John.
