Salmon River Ends the Upstream Battle Against High Seafood Prices, Rejoice!

The decor and the great twists on seafood classics combine to make Salmon River a sure bet

Most everyone will tell you that if you want to have great seafood you have to be prepared to open up your wallet and accept the “fact” that it will cost you.  That’s why it is so refreshing to see places like Salmon River which not only prove this belief to be false, but basically destroy it while filling up your stomach and satisfying your taste buds with a wide variety of great seafood and traditional Americana cuisine.  Of course, the restaurant’s name tells you what you should order, and with five different types of salmon specialties — ranging from Cedar-Planked Salmon to Santa Fe Salmon – you cannot go wrong with any of these choices as they all offer unique and exciting takes on the same basic dish.  Because of this wide selection, my personal suggestion is that any true fish lover goes with friends, making it possible for everyone to order something different, and more importantly, for everyone to get a little taste of everything!

The rest of the menu consists of standard seafood fare with anything but ordinary taste.  Seafood sandwiches such as the Oyster Po’Boy and the Crabcake Sandwich offer seafood lovers looking to have different takes on some of their favorite dishes the chance to explore new tastes – something every food enthusiasts loves to do.  Not to be forgotten is the Homemade Salmon Burger, a truly unique take on an American classic that Salmon River does exquisitely.

The Salmon River menu extends beyond the traditional dinner menu, offering a PreFixe menu that includes all three courses with set options for $24 as well as a breakfast buffet (sorry everyone, no salmon for breakfast, just your standard eggs, waffles, and such).  Located near the New York City Public Library, Salmon River is certainly one of the hidden treasures that it is worth swimming upstream to get to.
