A Trans Fat Free Menu
Our menu is written, printed and posted on the internet at this web site daily, depending on what is available. We buy only the finest seafood available. We get our product in fresh six days a week. We buy local line caught fresh fish when available. We import some products from other parts of the world using a very high quality standards. If it's not the best, we won't serve it.
Our portions are minimum weight. We weigh every portion that goes into our buckets, and will never under portion. I cost out my menu based on market price and post the minimum weight portions for my cooks. We are very fair in our portions, our food cost is high, but I think you'll be back for more!
We accept Cash - MasterCard - Visa - Discover and American Express as payment, no checks.
