The catch is coming in! That means it's time for our Hippoglossus Stenolopis festival! Hippo, what? It's easier just to call it halibut. And, you can call our halibut fabulous during our Just for the Halibut Festival. Salty's fresh Alaskan halibut is available starting in the spring but it really kicks up its tail during the festival and you and your friends can enjoy it at each Salty's Seafood Grill: Salty's on Alki in Seattle, Salty's at Redondo Beach and Salty's on the Columbia in Portland, Oregon. Visit http://www.saltys.com/food_wine/seafood_festivals.asp for the current festival schedule. If you're a local gourmet food lover from Seattle, Des Moines, Kent, Tacoma, Federal Way, Redondo Beach and Portland, Oregon, come aboard for our Just for the Halibut Festival - you won't want to miss this non-stop feasting on halibut.

Halibut are among the largest fish in the sea. They can grow to more than eight-feet long and over 700 pounds in weight. Caught in the icy cold ocean waters off Canada and Alaska and then shipped fresh direct to Salty's Seafood Grills, halibut are an excellent source of high-quality protein. That makes it the perfect health food for serious seafood lovers – naturally low in fat, sodium and calories. Like all our guests, halibut are seafood lovers, too. Their favorite foods are octopus, crab, herring, cod and flounder.

A meaty, flavorful fish, halibut has a well-deserved reputation as the world's premium whitefish. At its peak in flavor and freshness starting in March when the season opens, nobody does it better than the chefs at Salty's Seafood Grills. Prized for its delicate, sweet flavor and firm, flaky snow-white meat, halibut is delicious baked, broiled, pan-fried, poached, kabobbed, grilled, steamed and even chilled. This year, our gourmet chefs have outdone themselves with delectable dishes that showcase this Northwest delicacy. In addition, at Salty's Seafood Grills, we partner our halibut dishes with select wines and outstanding craft brews.

While halibut may take center stage during Salty's Just for the Halibut Festival, seafood lovers will still find their favorite crab, oysters, scallops, prawns and other fresh fish dishes on our menu. And, if you're in the mood for a great steak, we've got a selection of beef dishes sure to please your palette. See our chefs' current restaurant market sheets and menus at:
