Saltie Girl was inspired by Kathy Sidell’s childhood, growing up on the East Coast with her Dad, giving her a deep affinity for the saltiness of the sea and the fruit it bears.
Over the years of traveling, Kathy has discovered high-quality fish in tins, jars, smoked, and amazing and local seafood. Saltie Girl ultimately reflects a way of life and a passion for eating nature’s bounty.
The restaurant focuses on globally sustainable iterations of fresh fish and seafood, whether it be fried, sauteed, raw, house-potted, smoked, or in tins, and mindfully sources pristine and sustainable seafood.
