It&#8217;s a friendly and comfortable environment. It\u2019s just a good place to enjoy seafood at an affordable price.\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>See more:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thelocalgirl.com\/fairfax\/era-edit-alexandria\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Personal Styling and Curated Fashion Find a Home at ERA in Alexandria<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In terms of sustainability, Chef Louie said it\u2019s a deliberate choice. \u201cWe want people to enjoy seafood for many generations to come, and you can only achieve that through sustainability,\u201d he said. \u201cWe source from sustainable sources, whether it&#8217;s farm-raised or wild harvest.

Guests can customize their meals with signature sauces like garlic butter or Cajun, with entr\u00e9es offering between 20 and 67 grams of protein per plate.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chef Louie said that the team has made some menu tweaks to cater to the East Coast audience. \u201cWe learned that on the East Coast, fish and chips is made with cod, specifically. In California, we can make it with any fish,\u201d He said. \u201cOn the East Coast, people love lobster rolls, branzino, and rockfish.
