“When Chef Enrique first proposed this salmon dish almost 15 years ago, I have to admit I was a little skeptical. The combination of flavors sounded so exotic to me; I couldn’t imagine what they would taste like together. Then I tasted it and WOW! I love that the flavors enhance the fish and don’t overwhelm it. Making this dish requires a little bit of time and attention - but the result is so worth it.”
-Local Ocean Founder, Laura Anderson

This sandwich celebrates Oregon’s special fisheries, featuring Dungeness crabmeat and pink shrimp, served in the style of a lobster roll, with chopped celery, onions, bell peppers, and topped with zingy Huichol hot sauce, all served on a toasted hoagie. It has quickly become a favorite among Local Ocean regulars. The fact that it all comes together quickly and easily makes it perfect for a quick mid-week meal.

We strive for zero waste at Local Ocean, and our tuna kabobs help achieve this goal by allowing us to utilize small - but perfectly tasty - pieces of trim. However, unlike at the restaurant, we’ve provided you with the prime cut of the Albacore, the loin. This dish incorporates two of our housemade sauces - the fish is marinated in teriyaki and the veggies are sautéed in our sesame chili sauce.

Pan-fried oysters offer a delicious seafood experience, featuring a crispy exterior and tender interior.
