Seafood Safety & Guest Information
At our restaurant, we are committed to serving high-quality seafood while providing guests with information that may help them make informed dining choices. Topics that are commonly discussed in relation to seafood include foodborne illness, food allergies, mercury exposure, environmental contaminants, and other naturally occurring substances found in certain species of fish.
Please note that individual dietary needs vary. If you have concerns about seafood consumption, pregnancy, allergies, or specific health conditions, consult your healthcare provider for personalized guidance.
Raw Seafood Advisory
Many of the items we serve contain raw or lightly prepared seafood. While we follow established food safety procedures and sourcing standards, consuming raw or undercooked seafood may increase the risk of foodborne illness.
Certain individuals—including pregnant women, older adults, young children, and those with weakened immune systems—may face a higher risk of complications from foodborne illness. Guests in these groups should carefully consider whether raw seafood is appropriate for them.
Mercury Awareness
Mercury occurs naturally in marine environments and can be present in varying amounts in seafood. Larger predatory fish generally contain higher concentrations than smaller species.
Health authorities have published seafood consumption recommendations for pregnant women, nursing mothers, and young children. Guests who are concerned about mercury exposure should review current government guidance and discuss any questions with their healthcare provider.
We work closely with reputable seafood suppliers and monitor product quality through sourcing standards and testing programs when appropriate. Our goal is to offer seafood selections that meet applicable safety requirements and industry standards.
Environmental Monitoring
Environmental contaminants occasionally become a topic of public concern following industrial accidents, natural disasters, or other events that affect marine ecosystems.
We rely on information from regulatory agencies, scientific research, and supplier documentation when evaluating seafood safety. We source products from suppliers that comply with applicable food safety regulations and quality-control requirements.
Should any credible evidence indicate a potential risk to our guests, we will review our sourcing practices and take appropriate action.
Product Testing & Quality Assurance
Food safety and quality are important components of our purchasing program. Depending on the species and source, seafood products may be subject to testing, supplier verification, or other quality-control measures designed to confirm compliance with regulatory standards.
We continuously evaluate our sourcing partners and maintain standards intended to promote product integrity, freshness, and safety.
Naturally Occurring Fish Compounds
Certain fish species contain naturally occurring compounds that may affect some individuals. For example, some species can cause digestive discomfort or reactions in sensitive guests even when the fish has been properly handled and prepared.
If you have experienced adverse reactions to seafood in the past or have concerns about a specific menu item, please speak with a member of our team before ordering.
Food Allergies
Please inform your server of any food allergies or dietary restrictions before placing your order.
Although we maintain food-handling procedures designed to reduce cross-contact, allergens may be present throughout our kitchen and preparation areas. As a result, we cannot guarantee that any menu item will be completely free from allergen exposure.
Guests with severe food allergies should carefully consider this risk before dining with us.
Gluten Information
Some sauces, marinades, and seasonings may contain wheat or other gluten-containing ingredients. If you follow a gluten-free diet, please notify your server so we can help identify menu options that may be suitable for your needs.
