SWEET & CHEEKY FISH


Sweet like this cheeky lingcod screenshot of Ish With Fish
Ain’t a whole lotta fish big and bulky enough to leave us meat cheeks, but by gum, we appreciate the ones who do. We often have halibut cheeks in the shop, and right now, we’re checka checka checkin CHEEKS OF LINGCOD. Our favorite handsome fishes have thin, delicate cheeks with a defined texture and a flavor best called sweet-of-the-sea. Internet fishin’ guy Ish With Fish has a great 10-minute vid taking us from sea to table, where he treats his son to a bite. Spoiler: see his face above. #checkitout

So anyways I says to him, LINGCOD CHEEKS are pretty nice and we’ve got a little stash of em. Notably little though, so don’t waste no time if these handsome bois are your jam. Fishmonger Sawyer wanted me to also note the Walu (Escolar) and Tombo (Albacore Tuna), both delightful sushi grade fishes from Hawaii. Aloha.

NEAT. DUNGENESS CRABS

This graphic is so stupid.

* FYI * Dungeness Crab season as we know it is winding down, so take heed. The official ODCC season will continue for several months, but the early season abundance is diminishing, as it does, till season closes and populations spawn and we repeat the circle. See how this works? That’s what we mean by sustainability.

So anyways I says to him, I says, come get these Oregon Coast Dungeness Crabs while you can. Whole, cooked, meaty, beaty, big and bouncy.

SHINING GEMS – Oysters

We know why this man is smiling.
Okay, picture the very beginning of the “Happy Happy Joy Joy” episode of Ren & Stimpy. Stimpy’s taking the record out of the sleeve, and he turns back to Ren with a big toothy grin. An iconic smile. Now look at Oyster Man Sam’s photo of these Chelsea Gems. LOL U SEE IT RIGHT

SMOKIN, PREPPIN, FREEZIN FISH

Lovin. Touchin. Squeezin.
Just checking in with these packaged of our house-smoked fishes – salmon, steely, more – that have been along for pretty much Flying Fish’s whole ride in Portland. We do love em, with their brines of local raw honey and sea salt with a blend of trade secret spices, smoked slow and low, and packaged to eat right out of the vacuum seal. Get that Oregon-shaped cutting board you have, plate a hunk of smoked steelhead (don’t be afraid to let the juices drip, but do it neatly so you can Instagram it), a big wedge of Cowbell taleggio, a big pile of garlic crackers and some half-dried apricots… That’s not charcuterie, that’s dinner.™

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. 

—Lyf, Natalie, Juniper, and Miles Gildersleeve (and Hazel the Dog)
