We sell good fresh fish, shellfish, oysters, meat and more – most of which is conveniently itemized below and each week in this email. We have a comfortable patio for dining from our menu, which has small plates, main dishes, oysters, and drinks. (The Oregonian called us one of Portland’s best new restaurants for 2020-21, dontcha know.) And throughout the year, we have fun events offsite that help you get to know your food a little better. They’re Flying Fish Field Trips, and they’re on the calendar.

Live from the ninth cube, it is US, Flying FISH, here to serve Portland food that’s delicious, nutritious,  maybe even auspicious, but never suspicious. For we are judicious, and as much as we can be, expeditious, ain’t nothin fictitious. We love fish, we love food, we love life, we love you. And we try to do right by supporting local fishing and farming families, sourcing our food responsibly, and sharing this information with you. Ask us – we love talkin’ shop. We’re in the business of selling confidence almost as much as selling actual fish. Actual fish?

Hey now, actual fish. Pictured above: May we recommend the Petrale Sole? A flounder of the Pacific, a delicate low lier whose flakes are firm and whose flavor is light, a little nutty, and just right for a pop of extra flavor – like capers, for example, in a piccata. White wine, butter, capers and parsley. Try some, you’ll like it.

CRABS CRABS CRABS

Up against the wall

Crabs, crabs, Dungeness Crabs. Whole AND wholesome, an Oregon delight. However, one need not employ a brick wall to crack and clean one’s crabs. Nay, there is a somewhat simple process to prep it for the table, and after that, a little mallet or meat tenderizer will do ya at the table. Check out the step by step HERE. Per best practices and best product, the crabs you buy from us are already cooked, so you can eat em straight up using this process. Wanna warm it up first? That’s cool, just don’t overdo it. You don’t want to overcook what’s already cooked – just get it to your desired temp and dig in.

ABOUT FLYING FISH

Craig and Sandy Gildersleeve opened Flying Fish Company in Sandpoint, Idaho in 1979 – the year before their son Lyf was born.

Now president of Flying Fish Company, Lyf has spent his entire life around fish, including an aquaculture education at the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute at Florida Atlantic University.

Flying Fish has three locations: Sandpoint, Idaho; Durango, Colorado; and Portland, Oregon. The Portland location opened in 2009 as a food cart at the D Street pod on Division Street. In 2011, we opened the fish shack on Hawthorne Boulevard. In 2016, we moved into a stand at Providore Fine Foods on Sandy Boulevard. In February 2020, we opened our standalone location on East Burnside with a restaurant and a patio.

Thank you for supporting our family-owned business.
