The culinary team at Fanny Bay Oyster Bar & Shellfish Market is casting its net to help guests write their own recipes for romance by offering a full bounty of fresh-caught features at the downtown destination and a Seafood Boil Feast Kit to enjoy in the comfort of their own homes for Valentine’s Day.
Available from 3 to 10 p.m. Friday, February 11 through Monday, February 14, Chef Tommy Shorthouse and his culinary team will spice things up with features that include: Steak & Lobster (6oz AAA beef tenderloin with lobster and a Bearnaise sauce over asparagus), $55; Lobster Ravioli (heart-shaped pasta in tomato bisque with herb mascarpone), $35; and a Raspberry Macaron Ice Cream Sandwich, $16. A full complement of à-la-carte seafood-forward selections will also be offered throughout the weekend.
The Fanny Bay bartending team will add their own unique twist to Valentine’s Day celebrations by shaking up a special Bleeding Heart Cocktail mingling Sheringham vodka, Triple Sec and fresh-squeezed lemon & lime juice and a slow-melting cranberry heart garnish for a lip-smacking libation that conjues up Cosmopolitan vibes for $16.
Those interested in hosting their own special experiences can also pre-order Fanny Bay’s popular Seafood Boil Feast Kits — a ready-made romantic repast for two to four people that includes Dungeness crab, Manila clams, mussels, prawns, Fanny Bay’s signature boil broth & spices, chorizo, green beans, potatoes, red peppers, corn salsa, lemon and all instructions for preparation for $62 per kit. A selection of Old and New-world wines are also available to add additional spice to celebrations for at-home chefs and guests to enjoy in the comfort of their own kitchens.
