"Fish, to taste right, must swim three times - in water, in butter, and in wine."

– Polish Proverb

Fish and Seafood

Fresh Tuna Marinated in Wasabi, Soy Sauce, and Sesame Seeds

A fresh albacore tuna loin right from our local waters marinated in a mixture of wasabi and soy sauce then rolled in sesame seeds and grilled or pan roasted to your desired degree of doneness—we recommend medium rare. Steamed Asian white rice and roasted bok choy compliment the spiciness of the tuna.

Coffee Crusted Fresh Tuna with Balsamic Glaze

Ground coffee is mixed with spices, salt, pepper, and sugar to create a delightful rub that compliments fresh tuna.  The tuna is seared rare and finished with a balsamic glaze.  Serve with roasted spinach or on top of a peppery arugula salad to complete the dish.  Note: the coffee rub is also delicious with fillet mignon.

Pan Seared Tuna with Tomato and Olive Salad

Tuna steaks are pan seared to medium-rare and topped with a warm cherry tomato and olive salad.  Serve with bulgur wheat pilaf for adelicous and nutritious meal.

Sicilian-style Baked Fish

Firm fleshed fish baked in a Sicilian-style sauce with capers, olives, tomatoes, garlic, orange zest, and olive oil.  Serve with couscous for a more authentic experience.

Fish Curry with Bananas

Firm fish (halibut, cod, sturgeon, or tuna) is simmered in a Thai red curry sauce with coconut milk, lime juice, lime zest, peanuts, cilantro, green onions, and bananas.  Served over steamed wild or brown rice, it is a delicious and unique dish!

Sear-Roasted Halibut with Mushroom Butter Wrapped in Rice Paper*

Fresh halibut, when in season, is topped with a homemade butter made with our local sources of mushrooms, then wrapped in rice paper, pan-seared, and finished in the oven. The fish packets are then served with sautéed Asian style spinach for a truly unique flavor sensation.

Sear-Roasted Salmon

Fresh wild Pacific salmon is seasoned and seared skin side up. It is flipped over and finished at high heat in the oven for a moist and flakey texture. The salmon is complimented with Italian style sautéed kale and white cannellini beans. 

Spice-Rubbed Sear-Roasted Salmon with Fennel

A variation on the sear-roasted salmon, this one is coated with groound spices and served with fresh fennel and apples for a delicisou combination. Complete the dish and serve it with couscous.

Sole Involtini

Fresh wild Petrale or Dover sole is stuffed with garlic and truffle oil mashed potatoes, roasted in the oven, and drizzled with brown butter.  This dish makes a great appetizer or entree when served with a side of steamed spinach.

 Sole with Parmesan Glaze

This dish is made with fillets of sole which are rolled up and then glazed with a Caesar-style sauce made with parmesan, Worcestershire, lemon juice, and garlic. Serve with sliced fresh tomatoes when in season.

 Miso-Roasted Black Cod

Black cod is an overlooked fish, but its texture is firm and its flavor almost buttery tasting. It pairs well with Asian-style ingredients. In this dish, it is roasted with white miso paste, honey, and sesame oil. Serve with steamed spinach and enjoy!

Hoisin-Glazed Scallops with Spinach and Cilantro*

Scallops are glazed with hoisin sauce, seared and served simply with roasted spinach and garnished with fresh cilantro.  Serve with steamed rice to complete the dish

Shrimp with Mango & Basil

Shrimp and mango is quickly sauteed with basil and spices in this Indian-inspired dish.  Serve with Jasmine or Basmati rice.

 Shrimp Scampi

This dish is another that is not really Italian, but if made properly, it can be delicious enough to look the other way!  Flour dusted shrimp is sautéed with garlic, herb butter, and white wine.  It can be served with sourdough toast as an appetizer, or pasta for a meal.  A mixed green salad makes a nice accompaniment.

Prosciutto Wrapped Shrimp*

Anything wrapped in pancetta (bacon) or prosciutto is called ‘in porchetta’ in Italy; these shrimp are tossed in olive oil with chopped herbs and garlic, then wrapped in a slice of prosciutto and seared. The salty sweet flavor of the prosciutto compliments the sweetness of the shrimp. Fresh green beans are tossed in olive oil, lemon juice and sautéed with a little garlic to complete the dish. Note: this dish can also be made with scallops.

Dungeness Crab Cakes*

Locally caught Dungeness crab and your choice of style: traditional with breadcrumbs, lemon, and green onions, spicy Asian, Cajun, or Southwest-style. You can choose a sauce to accompany the cakes if you like, or just eat them as is . . . they are delicious in whatever way you have them.
