ENTERTAINING ON THE PATIO


Fire it up. The new and improved Flying Fish patio. 
Greetings and salutations from your friends at Flying Fish Company, where every day is Small Business Saturday®. Hope you’re well. A quick roundup of notes to say…

  • HAPPY HOUR: Every day on the patio, 3–5pm. Drink specials and $2 oysters. Yep.
  • CHEFSHACK COMING: Our in-house patio-side food cart is under construction, target operation mid-December. It’s gonna rule.
  • PATIO TENTS: Our main patio tent has been upgraded. A separate one specifically for the beer garden is en route. Things are looking up.
  • LIVE MUSIC: It happens on the very patio pictured and mentioned above, and this week it features the handsome gentlemen on the right. We’re stoked to have Lapado & Mann in the house tomorrow, 5pm showtime.

SPECIAL ORDER FOR THE HOLIDAYS

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)
