Monahan’s is Ann Arbors premier spot for fresh seafood. The restaurant has plenty of bar space and a beautiful patio for outdoor seating, making it much more than a seafood market. However, you can still by fish to fry up at home. The Oyster Po’boy is a crowd favorite here. With perfectly fried and breaded oysters and tomato and lettuce as fresh as the seafood, one bite and you’ll be back.
