Cajun Seafood Pasta

For those who like their seafood with a kick, our Cajun seafood pasta is a fan favorite. This dish beautifully combines succulent shrimp and tender mussels with spicy andouille sausage, all tossed in a rich cajun cream sauce. The pasta is perfectly al dente and generously coated with the flavorful sauce, then topped with freshly grated parmesan and fragrant basil. The result is a blend of land and sea flavors that will transport your taste buds straight to the bayou.


Pan Roasted Salmon

Our pan roasted salmon is a testament to the beauty of simplicity in cooking. This dish features a generous filet of salmon, expertly pan-roasted to achieve a crispy skin while maintaining a moist, flaky interior. Served atop a bed of creamy mashed potatoes and accompanied by seasonal vegetables, this plate is as visually appealing as it is delicious. The crowning glory is our house-made lemon beurre blanc sauce, which adds a bright, buttery note that perfectly complements the rich salmon. It's a gluten-free option that doesn't compromise on flavor.


Across the Pond Fish & Chips

No list of top seafood dishes would be complete without the classic fish & chips. Our "Across the Pond" version pays homage to this British staple with a crispy, golden-brown batter encasing tender, flaky white fish. Served with a side of our house-made tartar sauce and tangy coleslaw, this dish strikes the perfect balance between crispy and creamy, savory and tangy. It's comfort food at its finest, bringing a taste of the UK to your plate.


Salmon BLT

For a unique twist on a classic sandwich, try our salmon BLT. We take the traditional BLT and elevate it by adding a perfectly cooked salmon filet. The smoky bacon, crisp lettuce, and juicy tomato are familiar flavors that pair surprisingly well with the rich salmon. Our house-made chipotle aioli adds a spicy, creamy element that ties all the flavors together. It's served on toasted bread, making it a satisfying option for lunch or a lighter dinner.


Grouper Sandwich

Last but certainly not least is our famous grouper sandwich. The grouper filet is generously portioned and cooked to perfection, whether you prefer the bold spices of the blackened version or the crispy exterior of the fried option. Served on a soft bun with fresh lettuce, ripe tomato, and our tangy tartar sauce, this sandwich is a true taste of the sea. It's no wonder it's one of our most popular menu items!
