Good Times News Blog - February 2010

Nobody does lobster like Salty's does lobster.

SEATTLE AND PORTLAND - Salty's new "Be Shellfish, Eat Me" festival is going full steam ahead starting January 28 at all three Salty's - and lobster is the star of our show. Our lobsters are shipped here live, direct from the icy waters off the coast of Maine and kept in salt water holding tanks in our lobby. That's why lobster doesn't get any fresher than Salty's. And our Chefs make sure it doesn't get any tastier.

Straight from Lobster Heaven is our newest dish, Lobster with Angel Hair Pasta. It's made with Madeira wine - a sweet fortified wine from Portugal that "Plays so nicely with lobster," say our chefs. Flavored with roasted sweet shallot, a touch of garlic, olive oil, preserved lemon and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese and torn basil, it's not to be missed. Besides all that, we're on the waterfront with views that'll knock your bib off. Read more >

 

Chef's Blog - Portland - February 2010

by Dana Cress, Executive Chef for Salty's on the Columbia River

PORTLAND - This month marks the start of our "Be Shellfish, Eat Me" Festival, which celebrates lobster, shrimp and prawns. For all of our festivals in 2010 we are taking it to the extreme, so my new Dinner Market Sheet is loaded with these sweet, succulent crustaceans. I'll break it down for you, course by course, but you can pick and choose since it's all served à la carte.

SOUP: Lobster Potato Leek Bisque
This aromatic bisque is made by roasting lobster shells with butter, celery, onions, leeks, fennel and sweet tomato paste. The pan is deglazed with dry sherry before we add seafood stock, cream, potatoes and herbs. After simmering on the stovetop for an hour, we purée this flavorful soup to a silky, creamy bisque. You'll have the choice of a cup or a bowl, but trust me, you'll want a bowl! Read more >

 

The best seafood and steak restaurant in Portland isn't downtown, it's on the Columbia River. Salty's Seafood Grill is truly in a class by itself. We bend over backwards to please you with our award-winning fresh Northwest seafood cuisine and attentive friendly service. Anchored right on the river with sweeping views of the mighty Columbia and majestic Mt. Hood in the background, every seat at Salty's offers a majestic view with its two-story decks and walls of windows. Whether enjoying live Dungeness crab and Maine lobster (they’re swimming in our saltwater tanks in the lobby) to our world-famous Alaskan salmon and halibut in season, oysters and clams from Northwest beaches or USDA prime aged charbroiled steaks, pasta, chicken or luncheon salads and sandwiches, you will find many choices on our menus to please the most discriminating palette. Our award-winning Sunday Brunch¬ is like none you’ve ever seen elsewhere. It’s no wonder we’re voted the Nation’s Best Brunch by MSN-Citysearch.com.

In the Bar-Café, our more intimate dining area, you can sip on cocktails, listen to live music on select evenings and enjoy a Happy Hour Menu that our locals love. Although Salty's on the Columbia is a first choice restaurant at any time of the year, when spring and summer arrive it is a particular treasure. Long summer days and evenings with warm sunshine and refreshing saltwater breezes encourage Salty's guests to linger with refreshing cocktails and tasty seafood appetizers. Plus, we open our wraparound decks in season to make al fresco dining the most fun in the sun.

Choose Salty’s for catered events, corporate meetings, private soirées, or wedding receptions and rehearsal dinners. Our Executive Chef will design a special menu just for you.
