HOT HOT HOT. KITCHEN’S OPEN TODAY, CLOSED THIS WEEKEND


UGH.
KEERIPES. Four days into summer and we’re looking at record temperatures. Really bodes well for later this summer, dunnit? 😞 This weekend, drink lots of water, don’t be lighting any fires in the Gorge, and take good care of yourself and your loved ones.

To take good care of ourselves and our loved ones – our customers and our staff –

Everything is open today (Friday), but the restaurant will be closed Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, plus our usual day closed Tuesday. Assuming we don’t all combust, the patio, beer garden, and kitchen will reopen on Wednesday. However, in the meantime…

THE FISH MARKET WILL BE OPEN THIS WEEKEND.

Follow us on the social medias for latest updates. And on that note, here’s what you’ll find in the shop.

COLD WATER FISHES, HOT WEATHER PORTLAND


Don’t get no colder than the deep blue Pacific, where the Halibut hover.

Those hunks of Halibut pictured above could feed you all weekend. Cook it once and you’re good to go. The texture of cooked halibut in the fridge? There is no better midnight snack, Jack, and that’s a fact. Since it’s so dang hot, we’re going to dabble in sacrilege and even recommend some mayo in your Halibut prep. WHAT? Mayo. And CHEESE. On HALIBUT. DEAL WITH IT.

ALSO: Just a reminder, Copper River Sockeye Salmon season is not infinite, in fact it’s quite small. Don’t sleep on the best reds in the world. They’re here now, and they are hella fresh, sent to us directly by Sarah and her second-generation, woman-owned Alaska business. Pic below courtesy of Copper River Prince William Sound Marketing Association.

Oh look, another scallops feature! They’re sweet, they’re rich, maybe a little briny, with a texture you can immediately call to mind when you hear “pan seared scallops.” That memory tastes good, doesn’t it?

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)
