5 Ways to Experience the Best Shellfish and Fish
When it comes to the best local seafood, freshness is crucial, no matter how a dish is prepared. If you’re looking for the best ways to experience shellfish and fish, consider:
1. Raw Bar
At Brine Oyster House, oysters are an essential part of our menu. Our selection changes based on the season. You can expect a rotation of briny East Coast oysters and sweet West Coast varieties, depending on what’s at its peak.
All our oysters are freshly-shucked and served on a bed of ice. House mignonettes, classic cocktail sauce, and other creative chef pairings keep the flavors crisp and balanced.
Our oysters are available in half dozen or full dozen orders. Or, you can order a flight to taste varieties from across several regions.
2. Sandwiches
Sandwiches are a creative way to enjoy fish and shellfish. They can be paired with a variety of sauces and textures, creating unique flavor pairings you can’t always get with grilled fillets.
At Brine Oyster House, our oyster po boy is a creative take on the traditional shrimp po boy. It features cornmeal-crusted, fried oysters on french bread with creole remoulade. It’s topped with shaved lettuce, tomato, and our house pickle. It’s served with garlic-parsley fries on the side.
3. Shellfish
Aside from oysters, we also serve shrimp, lobster, and crap plates. Our unique take on hush puppies uses a mixture of jumbo lump crab and maine lobster. It’s served with frisee, preserved lemon, and cocktail sauce.
We also have our signature colossal shrimp cocktail, which features cognac sauce, spicy cocktail sauce, horseradish, and lemon.
4. Elevated Classics
Our entrees feature a variety of elevated takes on classics. Our bouillabaisse is perfect for any fish lover. This seafood soup has shrimp, scallops, halibut, mussels, crab, and a tomato and saffron broth. It’s served alongside saffron aioli toast points.
In addition, our pan fried Michigan lake trout almondine highlights local fish. It’s served with an almond amaretto butter sauce, haricot vert, and marble potato.
Our blackened Alaskan halibut, bourbon and hot honey shrimp, and fish and chips are also popular dishes that highlight our love of New Orleans cuisine.
5. Pastas
Fresh fish also pairs well with fresh pasta. One option on our menu is lobster fettuccine, which has a decadent blend of lobster tail, Louisiana blue crab wild mushrooms, fresh herbs, and Parmesan cream.
Another delicious option is our butternut risotto with black winter truffle, pecorino, and salsify chips. Enjoy it vegetarian, or add shrimp, scallops, or a half lobster tail.
