Wild-Caught Seafood
We believe great seafood starts with great ingredients. That is why we have our seafood delivered fresh from trusted local fishhouses. From our grilled grouper sandwiches to our blackened mahi tacos, we make sure each plate is prepared with freshness and flavor before serving.
Our commitment to quality shows in ingredients like our wild-caught Gulf shrimp, which is never farm-raised and always local, something not all restaurants can say.
