All aboard

A slab of salmon is packed with a cornucopia of seafood and mushrooms then baked to tender, juicy perfection.

Seafood galore

This dish puts the saying, “There’s plenty of fish in the sea” to truth, as it is embedded with snow crab, clams, shrimp and half shell mussels.

As the tides turn

This baked concoction is part of a rotation between several different salmon presentations. The staff mentions, “The salmon, as with other foods, we try to rotate the menus weekly and not offer the same items. We want our guests to have something to look forward to not just, ‘Oh, we saw that last week.'”

A tasty sea of sauce

This seafood creation swims in a calamansi butter sauce that really permeates savory, irresistible flavor.
