Yorkville is a horrible location for affordable good eats in my opinion. Around the Yonge and Bloor area, it's mostly chains. Within Yorkville, the prices for a meal are sky high for mostly mediocre food at best. So when I spotted Busters Sea Cover open on Yonge St., I was elated. One of my favourite seafood spots, in an area I frequent (instead of having to go down to St. Lawrence Market to satisfy my seafood cravings). I ordered my usual, grilled calamari & salad, hubby ordered fish and chips (I can't remember if it was cod or halibut), and aunt ordered the lobster roll. Hubby's fish and chips were great as usual. Crispy batter, and moist fish on the inside. The lobster roll, my aunt was quite pleased with. After biting into the roll, she said, wow it's real lobster! The fries unfortunately were mostly too salty, for both the fish and the lobster roll. A little to heavy handed with the salt that day I guess. As much as I love my calamari, I have to say this time, it felt that the calamari wasn't very fresh. It was also a bit chewier than the norm. Salad was fresh and tasty. So I'm not sure if it was an off day for the calamari, or if I would need to still make the trek down to the St. Lawrence Market to satisfy my craving.

Side note, the guy that used to man Buster's down at the Market is now manning the Yorkville spot.
