I am from DC so I know it really well. I wouldn't bother with the places above, as you'll find better seafood and sushi in Vancouver. Mie n yu is overrated as well i left some suggestions in the last post about DC. I am from DC so I know it really well.

I can't tell you where but maybe the hotel concierge can. It's not fancy at all..I remember eating and sitting on the hood of our car! Good idea to bring some wetnaps or a jug of water to clean up. Lots of peel and eat shrimp, fried oyster sandwiches, fish etc. Years ago when we were there, we stumbled upon a bunch of seafood shanty-type reataurants and markets right by the water.

DC can be a tricky town for good food. Your best bet for a variety of decent restaurants is by getting off at the Dupont Circle metro stop on the Red Line. Going south on P street will lead you towards Pesce (hit or miss, but when you hit it's got incredible fresh grilled seafood), Obelisk (tiny but absolutely unrivaled Italian with a sumptuous tasting menu only), Uni (good sushi). Going north on P street will take you to 17th street which has Komi (fabulous chef's menu), Sushi Taro (inexpensive sushi destination for the Japanese diplomats in town), Hank's Oyster Bar (can't get enough of their delicious raw oyster selection and great crab/lobster dishes). There are a few good places including a greek spot called Mourayo (on a good night has excellent food and surprisingly good greek wines) when you go northwest on Connecticut Ave. For a one Metro-stop destination, Dupont Circle is the best.
