We have “Chop House” in our name and an award-winning reputation for steak. However, seafood lovers have plenty to get excited about at Bascom’s.
From fresh fish and whole Maine lobster to jumbo shrimp and local black grouper, seafood has always held an important place on our menus. Chef Tony and the experienced Bascom’s culinary team bring the same care and attention to every seafood dish that goes into our signature steaks, beginning with quality ingredients and allowing their natural flavors to remain at the center of each plate.
Planning a refined dinner, relaxed lunch, or classic surf and turf? Bascom’s offers an impressive selection of fresh seafood in Clearwater.
Fresh Seafood From the Sea to Your Table
The Bascom’s dinner menu features seafood prepared in a variety of styles, from elegant classics to dishes with bold regional flavors.
Chilean Sea Bass
Rich and delicate, our Chilean Sea Bass is served with roasted Chef’s potatoes, a mushroom medley, creamy leeks, truffle essence, and Cabernet butter. The accompaniments complement the fish’s buttery texture while adding earthy, savory flavors to every bite.
Pecan-Crusted Grouper
Our Pecan-Crusted Grouper begins with local black grouper and is served with Swiss chard and spinach, roasted root vegetables, and a lemon-thyme beurre blanc. The pecan crust provides texture and a subtle nuttiness, while the beurre blanc brings brightness and richness to the dish.
Cedar Plank Salmon
Prefer salmon? Our Cedar Plank Salmon features Verlasso salmon broiled with a bourbon-ginger glaze. It is accompanied by roasted potatoes, blistered tomatoes, and haricot vert for a composed seafood entrée that balances savory, sweet, and fresh flavors.
Shrimp NOLA
For a taste inspired by New Orleans, Shrimp NOLA brings together six lightly blackened jumbo shrimp, rice pilaf, Sauce New Orleans, andouille crumble, and scallions. The result is a flavorful dish with just the right combination of spice, richness, and Southern character.
Lobster, Oysters and Seafood Starters
Then there’s lobster.
Bascom’s offers whole live Maine lobster cooked to order, giving guests the opportunity to enjoy one of seafood dining’s most enduring classics.
Seafood also appears throughout the menu in guest favorites. Choices inculde Lobster Bisque, Fried Lobster, Garlic Shrimp, freshly shucked oysters, Shrimp Cocktail, and the Bascom’s Seafood Platter.
These selections make it easy to begin your meal with seafood. Share several dishes around the table, or build an entire dining experience around your favorites from the water.
Bring someone to share it with—or simply bring an appetite.
Seafood Is Not Just for Dinner
Joining us for lunch? You’ll find plenty of seafood options available earlier in the day, too.
Lunch entrées include Grouper Piccata, Cedar Plank Salmon, and our loaded Seafood Cobb. This distinctive salad combines cocktail shrimp, jumbo lump crab, and gorgonzola lobster salad for a lighter option that doesn’t compromise on flavor.
For something more casual, try the Grouper Sandwich, prepared grilled, blackened, or fried. The Blackened Grouper Tacos offer another approachable favorite, served with cabbage slaw, chipotle aioli, pico de gallo, queso fresco, pickled onions, and lime.
