Thanks! The server told me it was 6 ounces. Of course I didn't have a scale, but it looked real small to me. If I had a scale, I doubt it would have weighed 6 ounces.
It's a pre cooked weight. 6 ounces isn't going to weigh 6 ounces after cooking.
That's a normal size portion for a non very common fish (cod, trout, etc).
It's not very often that I'm completely happy with a restaurant experience. So much so that we very rarely bother with sit-down places... especially a chain place.
Yesterday we visited Texas Roadhouse for the first time. Excellent service, fair portions, everything cooked properly and delicious.
The portions were often ridiculously large to begin with. I'm more concerned with quality... and it seems that there's plenty of chefs still focused on quality.

I visited Long Horn the other week worst food ever they pretty much emptied the salt shaker and dumped a ton of salt and seasonings on all the food. Texas Roadhouse from now on it is.

To whom. It's silly to think everyone, of all ages and weights, eats the same amount of food. What's too much to one is not enough to another.
I'll say this. When I was 20's I went to Red Lobster with my gf and we were poor at the time and for us that was an expensive outing so when the plates came and the portions were skimpy, I was not happy. I figure if I'm paying a lot of money I'd darn sure better not be walking away still hungry and I'm not ordering two meals. I've never been back and I'm over age 60.
Maybe menu items need to have a small, medium, and large option with some general guidance like "small - typically for those under 140#" or "large - typically for those over 220#".

That would be a good option but not categorized by patrons weight.
What I saw in some other places was something like: kids portions, small hunger, regular portions.

Even my light eating friends like large portions. They take the leftovers home.
Who doesn't take their leftovers home? They can give huge portions as far as I'm concerned. With some places, I can eat for 3 days on what's left.
The only problem comes in if you are traveling. However, we just do picnics from home or fast food for that.
If you eat out at a fancy or "gourmet" restaurant near your home, be prepared to pay a high price for the experience.
Gave that up during covid and haven't looked back.
I'm noticing shrinking portions at restaurants lately....for instance...
I ordered a Sea Bass dish for $42 that came with 2 sides.
The $42 price for Sea Bass seemed in line to me (for non-coastal FLA), but the Sea Bass portion seemed small.
I'd like to see what others feel is the acceptable portion range for a Sea Bass dish, measured in ounces.
The server tld me its all pre-weighed, & she told e the weight, so I know what the weight of the fish they served me.
Oh you are an innocent soul...I'm have little confidence that the server would have told you the truth.
