While some say red meat-based dishes are a staple of Italian dishes, there is a whole world to be discovered with Italian seafood. Between ocean-fresh fish, unforgettable lobster, and all the Italian ingredients that make up the best traditional dishes, there’s something for everyone. Our favorite seafood entrees feel like a trip around Italy’s coast, so let’s talk about dishes you need to try.
Lobster Fra Diavolo
Lobster is a delicious focus for any dish, and in this dish, it’s paired with angel hair pasta and a San Marzano tomato sauce. With a hearty sauce and the light, always expertly cooked lobster, the flavors match perfectly for an elegant yet comforting entree.
Branzino
Native to southern Europe and North Africa, branzino is an ocean-going fish. We serve this season favorite with cured lemon, garlic, Vidalia onions, rosemary, and roasted potatoes.
Sea Bass
Served with yuka gnocchi and accented by cherry tomatoes and a white wine reduction sauce, sea bass is an Italian staple. With a prime catching season close to 6 months, it’s often available, and always a great choice!
Faroe Island Salmon
Our Faroe Island Salmon is lightly pan-seared with our Sicilian sweet and sour glaze to bring out the natural bright flavors of the salmon. Add mashed potatoes to the side, and you have a heart-healthy Italian dinner.
Seafood Oreganata
Oregenata is a way of serving seafood coated in light breadcrumbs, olive oil, oregano, and butter. Combining grilled shrimp, scallops, calamari, and swordfish over arugula with a lemon garlic sauce, each and every seafood favorite is in this dish. It’s a wonderful way to get a little bit of everything!
Roasted Halibut
Served with artichokes, wild mushrooms, and garlic mashed potatoes, roasted halibut rounds out our favorites list. Between the savory side flavors and roasted, full-bodied flavor of the halibut, you can’t go wrong with this Italian classic.
With a waterfront view and all of these delicious seafood options on the menu, we hope to see you for lunch, dinner, and every Italian seafood craving you might have! Make a reservation at Strega Waterfront today!
