October is National Seafood Month and McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood Restaurants have been celebrating all month long with menu specials highlighting the country’s most popular seafood dishes. With the Choose Your Perfect Combinationspecial, guests have the option to choose from among five seafood classics, including jumbo gulf shrimp, fresh water tilapia, Atlantic salmon, Alaskan halibut or crab cakes. Guests can choose two for $19.95 or three for $24.95.
To help diners get the most out of their seafood experience, McCormick & Schmick’s has paired a list of seafood fun facts with top tips for enjoying seafood from the “King of Seafood,” Chef Bill King. Below are a few fun tips:
- When pairing seafood, pay attention to flavors and textures. Some of the best seafood combinations to try are halibut with shrimp and salmon with crab cakes.
- If you want a lighter, healthy option, you can always request any seafood “simply grilled” at McCormick & Schmick’s. During October’s promotion, the halibut, salmon and shrimp specials will all be simply grilled to perfection. Just a squeeze of lemon juice is enough to enhance the natural flavors of the seafood.
- Think seafood and cheese don’t go together? Then you haven’t tried McCormick & Schmick’s Parmesan-Crusted Tilapia served with capers and lemon butter sauce. Delicate and flavorful.
- When ordering crab cakes, ask your server about the ratio of crab to filler. A good crab cake should be mostly crab.
- When pairing wine with seafood, you don’t have to go with whites every time. In fact, many varieties of seafood pair better with red varietals. For example, try ordering a glass of Pinot Noir to go with salmon.
- When it doubt, ask your server. They know what’s fresh that day, the origin of the seafood and they’ve usually tried everything on the menu, so they can help with tough ordering decisions
- Chef King’s personal seafood favorites:
o Halibut
o Chilean Sea Bass
o Sturgeon
o Whole Dungeness Crab
o Sole Parmesan
o Ahi, lightly seared
