    Bernie's Fabulous Chowder of the Day: New England Clam Chowder
    Ailun H.

    I wish I checked out Monahan's during the six years I lived in Ann Arbor. They sell fresh seafood here, which I knew about, but I didn't know they also had cooked foods available to purchase. After hearing about the delicious soups here from a couple friends, I grabbed lunch with a friend here yesterday late morning. BERNIE'S FABULOUS CHOWDER OF THE DAY (PINT) Today, the chowder of the day was the classic New England Clam Chowder, one of my favorites. It was creamy without being overly fatty. It was rich and hearty, with a good amount of clam and potatoes. Overall, it was one of the better New England Clam Chowders I've had, and I can understand the hype. Each order comes with two small slices of baguette, lightly spread with butter, perfect for enjoying with the soup. FRIED CALAMARI The order comes with a generous portion of fried calamari, mostly "tube" shaped, with a few tentacles mixed in. We enjoyed the tentacles more because they were crispier and packed with more seasoning and flavor. Some of the tube-shaped calamari, however, was on the soggier side and a bit bland. Overall, it's a good dish for sharing. SALMON TERIYAKI Each order comes with a big piece of salmon marinated in teriyaki sauce, swerved with a side of rice topped with black sesame seeds. The salmon was grilled well, but the teriyaki sauce didn't contribute much flavor. Overall, the dish was quite bland, and I wouldn't order this again. I definitely recommend giving the soups a try at Monahan's. There are some tables to enjoy the food indoors.

    Their oysters are so fresh and delicious! I love coming back now and then for a treat. Their fish and chips is also crispy and I love the dip that goes with it. Their calamari also tastes fresh, though not as crunchy. The Thai peanut sauce that comes with it is okay, I think the calamari tastes better by itself. A must-visit for fresh seafood!

    Daily seafood specials and very affordable . Food is made to order and the fries are hand cut, delicious food. I will be going back to try their soft shell crab sandwiches when they have them in season.

    Fish & Chips AMAZING!!! Seafood Chowder RIDICULOUSLY GOOD

    No BRAINER!!! Great food great service at a great price! If you like seafood, don't pass it up!!! Great job Monahans team!

    According to William Shakespeare, "A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a king, and eat of the fish that hath fed of that worm." So, fish is part of the great chain of being and Monahan's needs to be in your chain. Monahan's is part of Kerrytown Market. Quality of fish and caliber of service are the hallmarks here. In particular, the fish wrapped in paper is superb. The fish is fresh and the ingredients they add to the paper are outrageously good. I also bought cod cheeks which were stupendous. According to P.J. O'Rourke, "Fish is the only food that is considered spoiled once it smells like what it is." While contemplating your purchase, please ruminate on this quote.

    Located inside Kerrytown Merchants in the fabulous Ann Arbor! I had the fish and chips and it was great! You can eat inside but it is in a small confined area. It is more so a place to get a carry-out! Service was quick from placing order to actually getting it! You have to pay for parking but it is reasonable! The food prices are pretty reasonable too! I definitely recommend checking it out sometime and it is fun to browse Sparrow Market!

    There is no dine in but there is seating in the courtyard. No table service tho. You get your order for takeout.

    Can they prepare a sashimi plate for you if you ask?

I opted for: *NORTHCOUNTRY GRAVLAX-CURED - We make a traditional Scandinavian style cure with allspice, coriander, juniper berries, and lots of chopped fresh dill. Less traditionally, ours is cold-smoked over our hardwood blend for a firmer texture, with full salmon flavor and longer shelf-life. *PASTRAMI-CURED - A blend of many spices, paprika, coriander and pepper come to the fore-a perfect combination with the salmon. Both were SO good. But what surprised me the most was the SMOKED CASTELVETRANO OLIVES. Even my friend, who dislikes olives greatly, said it tasted more like bacon to her. Ha. 1lb of cold smoked and then olives ran me $50. Pricey but good value and really delicious food!

Costco rotisserie chicken makes me very sick, but I can easily consume plum market, rotisserie chicken. We love their local and specialty items. My kids are obsessed with Tillamook cheese sticks. We've had really good service specifically in the produce and meat department with people helping us and going above and beyond. One time a produce worker offered to make a mirepoix (fresh cut vegetables for soup ) for us while we were shopping, and when I was introducing my baby to solid foods, I got a lot of great tips from the meat counter worker. I will say that the prices are exorbitant and some things. I wish I could shop here full-time but it is very expensive. But when you have allergies, they learn that some things are worth paying a little bit of a premium for. We will always come in for their produce and rotisserie chickens. The produce I buy here is always fresh and delicious and I've never had a problem with mold, bruises, or slimy vegetables. I can always trust the quality at Plum market. They have an app also which has some pretty great deals sometimes. Their hot case is delicious if you don't have a bunch of allergies. We used to enjoy that quite frequently. The fish and chips are really good. I love how the bathroom has a fresh bouquet of flowers. They are beautiful and such a nice touch.

It's truly level above the competing Busch's and Holiday Market stores. If you're tired of everyday takeout options that you find at fast food restaurants, then you owe it to yourself to splurge once in a while and enjoy lunch or dinner from the Plum Market. The meat and seafood offerings are prepared to give you a fine dinning experience that you can serve at home or at the office. You can even enjoy their out of this world salad bar, which offers wide array of fruit and vegetables options. The service here is amazing, first-rate, and everyone is well educated and knows how to make some great recommendations. This is especially true of those who work in the wine section. For instance, if you want sake from Japan, they have an amazing selection of options to offer you that can be served cold or warm. Likewise, the staff even makes excellent food recommendations to enhance the sake experience. The atmosphere inside this market is truly amazing, and very clean. My only complaint is that they offer a very limited selection of soy sauce from Kikkoman's. Given the fact that it's Ann Arbor, I would have expected much more in the way of diversity when it comes to the variety of soy sauces from the Asia-Pacific Region. So if you want to impress your date, serve up a delicious meal at a business meeting, or have a special gathering with friends but don't have time to cook it yourself, then this is the place to buy it at. If you love shopping in the suburbs then you will enjoy the great offerings at this Plum Market.

They also carry baked goods and various other prepared foods from local businesses like Zingerman's and Avalon. They do $6 sushi rolls after 8pm every night as well as some excellent deals on baked goods (50% off). The sushi is usually $11-15 a roll so the discount is great. It's not the best sushi in the world but it's very good for grocery quality. Otherwise, they (unsurprisingly) mostly carry organic and small-business brands. They have good sales sometimes but even then you can expect prices to be about 25% higher than what you'd see at a "normal" grocery store.
