Bonefish Grill Celebrates National Seafood Month

TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 27 — In honor of National Seafood Month in October, Bonefish Grill, awarded "Best Seafood" in the 2010 Zagat Survey of National Chain Restaurants, brings the best flavors of the sea straight from the ocean to the table with its new Ocean Mixed Grill for Two. Restaurant founder Tim Curci, the creative mind behind Bonefish Grill's innovative recipes, has created this shared dish as a tasting of the best of the best on one plate with his four favorite recipes: Chilean Sea Bass topped with warm mango salsa, Norwegian Salmon with lemon butter, Wild Grouper with chimichurri sauce, and Wood Grilled Scallops and Shrimp with Pan Asian sauce.

"In the spirit of National Seafood Month, we wanted to take the difficulty out of ordering fish and help our guest navigate a perfect sampling – that's the inspiration behind this ultimate assortment highlighting all our favorite pairings to try at once," said Curci. "Whether you are a fresh fish lover seeking Bonefish Grill's signature recipes or a newcomer exploring new tastes and varieties, our Ocean Mixed Grill for Two is sure to turn anyone into a seafood fan."

Curci, an alumnus of The Culinary Institute of America, has deep culinary expertise and a passion for freshness – which shine through in every dish at Bonefish Grill. An adventurous traveler, he explores the world in search of unique varieties of fish and the freshest ingredients and preparations, and brings these treasures to life in the Bonefish Grill kitchen for guests to savor.

"We developed the perfect sauce to pair with each seafood item and create a wide variety of well-balanced flavors," said Curci. "Many restaurants consider lemon butter as the traditional sauce for scallops and shrimp, but we take an innovative approach with a Pan Asian glaze that plays on the flavors of Asian barbecue. In South America, Chimichurri sauce is traditionally served on heavier red meats, but our interpretation of this sauce paired with fresh Wild Grouper is simply fantastic. From the buttery Chilean sea bass paired with a sweet, zesty mango salsa, to the kiss of lemon butter on Norwegian salmon that tastes as pure as the fresh waters it comes from, each layer of flavor on the platter is truly unforgettable."

The Ocean Mixed Grill for Two is served with a choice of two salads, two sharing sides and seasonal vegetables for a limited time only at $19.90 per person (price may vary in select locations).
