LOVE A RAW BAR? COME EXPERIENCE THE COASTAL CUISINE AT LIONFISH

Close your eyes for a minute and just imagine standing on the beach in San Diego. The warm sand between your toes, the whisper of a breeze across your skin, the light spray on your skin. Moments like these are a true sensory experience, one that you can completely immerse yourself in. We can think of only one thing that would make this scenario even more enticing, and that’s the addition of the freshest, coastal seafood.

Nothing beats seafood that’s fresh plucked from the water, delicate yet flavorful with essences of the sea. In San Diego, there’s no shortage of restaurants trying their hand at recreating the seafood experience, but we know elevating coastal cuisine has nothing to do with reinventing the wheel but rather knowing how to perfectly highlight the character and uniqueness of each dish. Sometimes, especially with coastal cuisine, simple really is best – and this is exactly why Lionfish features so many natural, raw selections on their menu.

If you’re a fan of the raw bar, we know you’re going to love Lionfish. What sets Lionfish apart from the raw bar down the street? This is a discovery you’re going to enjoy.

RAW BAR CULTURE

Traditionally, a raw bar is described as either a small eatery, or even a special bar within a larger establishment, that offers a selection of mostly raw seafood – such as oysters and mussels, with a few cooked selections added in as compliments. Raw bars, especially in coastal areas, are a growing trend as restaurant patrons crave the freshness of seafood in its absolute purist form. In San Diego, raw bars are becoming a favorite due to the abundance of fresh, seasonal seafood that is found in the area.

Of course, if you’re a lover of the raw bar, you know that sometimes it’s easier to be disappointed with the experience rather than wowed. As more raw bars pop up, you soon discover that finding one that truly understands how to treat, prepare and elevate raw seafood is a bit of a challenge. You want a raw bar experience that exceeds all your expectations. We happen to know exactly where you’re going to find this experience, and it will happen as soon as you walk through the doors at Lionfish.

Lionfish, nestled inside the Pendry in the trendy Gaslamp Quarter, has created a unique dining experience in San Diego. With a modern, innovative approach to coastal cuisine, Chef JoJo Ruiz and his team of culinary experts have perfected the art of sustainable seafood, including creating dishes that highlight each piece of coastal protein simply, perfectly, and with unmatched elegance.
