Our whole fried Vermillion snapper is meant to be shared. 🐟

We chose the snapper for its delicate, sweet flavor and large, flaky texture, then paired it with coconut-tomato French-style crepes, pickled summer squash, sunflower shoot herb salad, and aromatic Indonesian serundeng. It all comes together with a creamy, savory calamansi-soy dressing.

Build these crepes with elements of your choosing, eat with your hands, share with your companions, and enjoy!

Think oysters are only for the “R" months? 🦪

Tyler is here to bust that myth. Follow along as he breaks down where the old rule came from and why oysters can be enjoyed year-round.

What better time to put that knowledge to use than Oyster Week? From October 1-7, we’ll be featuring special oyster pricing, with proceeds benefiting the Chesapeake Bay Foundation.

Come grab a few oysters, learn something new, and help support the health of the Chesapeake while you’re at it. 🦪

Our Bluefin Tuna Crudo is a fresh take on the classic melon and prosciutto pairing. North Carolina Bluefin Tuna is sliced thin like carpaccio and served over creamy jalapeño coulis. It's topped with thin ribbons of peacock cantaloupe, then dressed with a floral pink peppercorn vinaigrette, melted lardo, and fresh herbs.

This dish is bright and refreshing, with rich, savory flavors that make it a perfect transition from summer to fall.

Meet the Peach Salad!

Sweet peaches and raspberries bring their floral notes to the forefront, balanced by rich duck prosciutto and creamy stracciatella. Think peaches & cream, but with a savory twist and a little more nuance.

Last night, Chef Caleb and Sous Chef John joined some of Richmond’s best chefs for the Birdhouse Farmers Market's 9th Annual Farm Dinner.

The evening brought chefs together to create a multi-course, family-style meal using ingredients donated by Birdhouse vendors, all in support of Birdhouse’s mission to fight food insecurity and strengthen connections through local agriculture and food education.

We’re proud of Caleb and John for being part of such a meaningful evening and for putting local ingredients to work for a great cause. Thank you to Birdhouse for bringing Richmond’s food community together around a mission that matters.

Looking for a refreshing dish that bridges the seasons? 🐟️

Our Yellowtail Crudo is a tepache-inspired leche de tigre layered with charred pineapple, warm spices, chilis, and plenty of lime. Creamy avocado, crisp cucumber, fresh pineapple, and finger lime add texture, while fig leaf oil brings a subtle tropical finish.

Bright enough for summer, but with warm, layered flavors that welcome the start of fall. 🍂

We’re closed today, Friday, September 4th, for a private event.

We’ll be back tomorrow with fresh seafood, cold drinks, and a seat waiting for you. See you soon!

Our skirt steak is grilled over charcoal and lacquered with a Nikkei-inspired anticucho glaze, bringing layers of smoky, savory depth to every bite. It's served over a warm succotash of sweet corn, chilies, and okra, then finished with cotija and a vibrant aji verde for freshness and balance.

Seasonal, thoughtful, and deeply satisfying. Try it now at Slack Tide Fish Co. by booking a reservation through the link below.
