Nothing wrong with the clams and mussels while the snow crab miraculously maintained its fluffy texture despite sitting in a chaffing tray. The fried items were not bad being crunchy while still moist inside, but the oysters were woefully overdone. For my second plate, I had the other available hot seafood including Fried Clams, Calamari, Fried Shrimp, Mussels, Clams, Oysters and Garlic Butter Snow Crab.

It was mildly creamy as it was more of a soup than a bisque.

Although salty, the bisque did have the essence of crab and the sweet pop of corn. Flavorwise, it was creamy with the brininess of clams with big chunks of tender potatoes. It was so thick, it stuck to the spoon and wouldn't let go. One of the reasons I stayed away from the chowder was it could've passed for wallpaper paste. With 2 soups available, I let my daughter have a go with the Clam Chowder while I went for the Crab and Corn Bisque. The texture of the meat was on point being fluffy and firm with a natural sweetness. My favorite was the dungeness crab as the legs were large and meaty. As usual, the king crab was a bit spongy and salty, but okay nonetheless. I moved onto the shrimp and it had a buttery cold water snap. And you know what? The stuff was pretty good! Starting with the smoked salmon, it was buttery soft, plenty seasoned and mildly smoky. So for my first plate, I loaded up with everything but the snow crab and mussels. Well, there was a small salad selection in the space before, but I didn't waste my time eating greens. We returned with the kiddies (yes, to the casino) a few weeks later to claim our free seafood buffet (on Thursdays and Fridays).Īlthough not a big buffet in terms of variety and space, the stars of the show were all present in the cold section - Smoked Salmon, Snow Crab, Cocktail Shrimp, Dungeness Crab, Mussels and King Crab. Viv and I did just that on our last visit to Semiahmoo as well as losing money at slots (oh, that's how they get us.). However, how about a seafood buffet (normally $27.95) for no charge? Yes, the good folks at the Silver Reef Casino will comp you one buffet a year if you join their Diamond Dividends.

Oh yeah, Red Robin gives you a free burger on your birthday, so I guess that is one option. Can one really get a free meal these days (in a restaurant that is)? Sure, Denny's offers up one on your birthday, but then again, you have to bring a paying customer with you.
