Only The Best!
At Saltwater Restaurants, our guiding principle is simple: Only the Best. We journey to the cold, clear waters of Alaska and Norway, where seafood like no other is found. The icy waters there are more than just a habitat; they're the source of unmatched flavor. From the sweet, delicate Norwegian Snow Crab to the majestic Alaskan King Crab, each choice is about quality. The Alaskan Dungeness offers tender, flavorful meat, while the rare Alaskan Bairdi stands as a testament to our commitment to excellence. We carefully select each species to ensure our dishes are more than just meals; they're an exploration of the sea's finest offerings. Only the Best is not merely a promise; it's our reality, served to you.
