Find out what Seafood restaurants to try in Redding. There's a variety of water sports in Redding, from whitewater rafting on the Sacramento River to waterskiing, swimming, fishing and sailing on Shasta Lake, one of four magnificent manmade lakes in this northeastern California town. When you're ready to dry off, there are also plenty of land-based activities, like camping or hiking in the national forests and parks, following walking trails through the 220-acre arboretum or spending time exploring two fascinating parks: Shasta State Historic Park and Turtle Bay Exploration Park. At Shasta State, you'll find the ghost town of Shasta City from the Gold Rush days, complete with restored stagecoach, barn and courthouse, with eerie reminders of where prisoners were kept and sometimes hanged. The ever-expanding 300-acre Turtle Bay Park houses the recently opened Turtle Bay Museum, with extraordinary hands-on exhibits focusing on the environment and an outstanding collection of American Indian baskets. The kids will love the park's Paul Bunyan's Forest Camp, which includes a playground, logging and ecology exhibits and the popular summer butterfly house, where the fragile winged creatures flit about and alight on welcoming visitors.

Great seafood and fish and chips place. Food was reasonable and delicious. Good service. Except very slow. Took over 20 minutes for our food. Ordinarily would lose a star for such slow food. And chowder could have been brought to ease the wait. A little dysfunctional that way, but I still liked them enough to give 5 star.

For those who want entertainment with their meal, the teppanyaki side is the place to go. We sat on the sushi side for a relatively quiet and delightful meal. Clean, modern decor. Friendly and attentive staff. Reasonable prices for a wide range of nigiri sushi and maki. Our server brought a sample of one of the local on-tap beers to try before ordering - an appreciated extra in service. We started with a generous dish of freshly cooked edamame, then followed with hamachi and tako nigiri. The salmon skin and eel maki were both delicious, especially the extra crispy salmon skin. And of course, beautiful plating presentation. Kobe is a good dining choice when you're in Redding.

Well we went there for dinner after striking out at another restaurant in town. Was seated rather promptly. We were greeted at the table by our waittess Breeanna R. She was delightful, with a cheerful and bubbly personality. We ordered dinner, was a little miffed when the entrees showed up before we were done with out soup and salad. So the entrees sat on the table getting cold. We both ordered the same entree Garlic Shrimp Scampi and Oven broiled scallops with a side of Lobster mashed potatoes. Oh and of course got the Cheddar Bay Biscuits. It wasn't long before we started to realize why we don't eat here more often and that is because the food here is mediocre at best. They certainly don't waste any money on clams in the clam chowder because I don't think there was any. The chowder is very thin and lacks taste, with no shortage of potatoes. My wife said the salad was bigger than expected which wasn't a problem. Now for the entrees, well if there was any garlic in the garlic shrimp scampi I must have missed it because there was no garlic flavor at all in mine. The scallops were only so so not much flavor and kind of dry. The rice pilaf was less than stellar. I think I commented to my wife that the Shrimp and Scallops kind of tasted the same, thus my comment earlier about nothing to write home about. We skipped desert paid the bill and left. Once again me telling my wife if I mention eating here again to smack me. Sorry Red Lobster not a good impression. And not worth the $80.00 paid for it. I am really glad we did not opt for the Main Lobster or King Crab or even a surf and turf because I am sure we would have been equally disappointed with a bigger hit on the pocket book. The best part of the experience was the conversation and service from Breeanna, such a wonderful young lady. Oh I didn't mention the supervisor that stopped and asked how our never ending shrimp dinner was. Hmm I think she was confused. She did apologize and say sorry I didn't see the scallops and walked away. Hmm!
