On the other hand, if you want good seafood, simply prepared, served without a shred of elegance but at about a quarter of the price of Striped Bass, try Seafood Unlimited on 20th St. near Spruce.  (There are a few long tables at the back of the seafood store).  Every Tuesday is all-you-can eat mussels night.

Agreed! It's a wonderful addition. Everytime I see that section of Rittenhouse Sq, with Sq. Bar, Devon Seafood and Rouge 99 all in a row I'm blown away that this is happening in Philly. 'Bout time!
