🌊🐟 Wednesday Night May, 27th Dinner Special – Alaskan Night 🐟🌊

Join us Wednesday starting at 4:30 for a true taste of Alaska!

This week’s feature includes:
• Fresh Halibut from Kodiak Island
• Fresh Copper River Sockeye Salmon — with the season having just opened last Friday!

Alaskan halibut is one of the North Pacific’s most prized white fish, known for its mild flavor, snow-white flaky texture, and versatility. Harvested from the cold, deep waters around Kodiak Island, these fish can grow to incredible sizes and are carefully managed for sustainability and quality.

Copper River sockeye is famous for its rich flavor, vibrant color, and high oil content, making it one of the most anticipated salmon seasons of the year.

Available at both locations while supplies last!
